Naval Support Activity Bahrain Auto Shipping Services by A-1 Auto Transport
Naval Support Activity Bahrain (NSA Bahrain) is a US Navy base located in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
The navy base occupies the area that used to be the British Royal Navy. The US Navy established itself on the base during World War II. Today, the base provides support as well as the Naval Exchange. It is the main Naval Base in the region.
If you have been posted to the base, you will have a lot of entertainment and recreational activities. If you have a vehicle, know that there is a way to get it to the base. Let us tell you how.
Shipping to a Base in the OCONUS Area
Due to NSA Bahrain being outside the Continental United States anyone posted there should be eligible for government-sponsored shipping of a single POV. This means you shouldn’t be paying the cost of shipping your vehicle to Bahrain.
However, you might need to do a little follow-up to ensure you are documented as being eligible for the sponsorship. Visit your transportation with your PCS to get more details.
While the government will pay for the transportation of your vehicle, find out the specific rules surrounding third-party shipping and how to implement the sponsorship in such a service.

Some documents will be needed. They include:
- Proof of ownership of the vehicle to be shipped
- Means of identification as provided by the United States Army

Preparing your car for Shipment
Preparing your vehicle for shipping isn’t difficult. Things to do include:
- Disconnect the battery or remove it completely from the vehicle.
- Fix any mechanical issue the car might have or document the fault.
Military Motorcycle Shipping
If you are shipping only a motorbike, you are still eligible for government sponsorship. This means you won’t have to pay for the shipping of your bike. Ensure you are documented as being eligible. Visit your TO for more details.
If you have a car and a bike you want to ship, know that the government will pay for only one vehicle. It will be better if the government pays for the car while you pay for the bike. Shipping motorcycles are always cheaper.
You will need certain documents if you want to ship a motorcycle. They include proof of ownership, your PCS, and permission to export a leased vehicle.
