mmgemini Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Hi Adrian First find a shiping company that ships to Borneo or near. Second find an agent that will sort out the other agencies involved in the shipping. Which ever you find first will generally point you in the direction you need to go. Compare prices of different companies if possible. There used to be a website. www.britishexpeditionvehicles.co.uk I think. See if you can find it. There was a lot of information in there. Google tells us Silver Line Shipping. From a search on shipping to Borneo. Now are you taking the car for a holiday or a perminant export.

Daan Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 P&O nedlloyd is a good place to start. Are you sending the car permanently or for an event? In the last case you will need a carnet, which you can get from a Chamber of commerce. Daan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v8bertha Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Only place you can get a Carnet in the UK is from the RAC Carnet pages When you speak to a shipping company, try to find one that has an agent at the other end and so they can do all their own communicating. Otherwise you will have to find a company over there to arrange the unloading of the container, the transport to the customs area and any customs inspection and then the transport to the warehouse where you will collect from. If you find your own agent in Borneo it's highly possible that you will have to act as a go-between for the sending shipping company and the receiveing agent. My experience when shipping to the USA was that they don't like talking to each other! Make sure the agent knows of any special conditions about packing the container, eg we weren't allowed to use timber in the container (despite the floor being made of wood!! ) to chock the car in. I know when Ali (Reads90) shipped his stuff out to Oz he used a removals firm who did everything for him, but the circumstances were different in that he was moving over there permanently. I used a company called Kingstown Shipping based in Hull to organise my shipping. They were ok, but didn't have an agent at the port we were shipping to. According to their website they ship pretty much anywhere. And prepare to be frustrated Dan Edit to add: http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=27828 Excellent thread about Carnet Not sure if one is required for Borneo, but RAC will be abl;e to confirm either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyoldgit Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 A second vote for Kingstown Shipping here - although I confess that my experience with them has only been RO-RO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daan Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Only place you can get a Carnet in the UK is from the RAC This is a different type of carnet, which is needed for overland trips. I did not need this to ship a vehicle to Malaysia. I will check tonight, but my carnet was about £150, rather than thousands it usualy costs. Exactly what is the plan Adrian, or is it classified info? Daan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian - you or your friend could contact the Land Rover Club of Malaysia. They regularly ship vehicles across to Africa and probably will be able to give you good advice/help. If you are exporting the vehicle you will not need a carnet but import duty will be payable at the other end. Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 PM me your number and exactly what it is you want to do - my brother works for an international shipping co so I'll see what he can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
