Port of Buffalo Car Shipping Company, NY

Shipping Cars To Or From the Port Of Buffalo, New York

The Port of Buffalo is located on the northeastern shores of Lake Erie in western New York. It sits on the mouth of Niagara River and is the 7th busiest port of the Great Lakes Waterway. The pier is owned and managed by the Gateway Metroport. It is the first dock of call for vessels entering the Great Lakes. Its location makes it a good point of distribution to the Midwestern and Canadian markets. It is equipped with heavy lift equipment and storage facilities that facilitate the moving of all types of cargo. Read on to learn more about delivery.

Pricing & Time For Shipments

*Prices and times are estimated. They can vary depending on the season and what type of vehicle you are moving.

Moving Through

The port’s public-use terminals have a dock area of about 1,000 square meters and are served by both road and rail. Movers ship to or from the terminals by road. Vessels carrying cars can self-unload or use the crawler crane, which has a 320-ton capacity, or the gantry crane, which has a 55-ton capacity. The harbor offers several services including importation. For more information on this service, contact the authority on the number provided on this page.

We move from (or to) Buffalo City, western New York, and the midwestern US states through this dockyard. The auto cargo vessels access it from the Atlantic Ocean through the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. Then they sail on the Saint Lawrence River to Lake Ontario and on to Buffalo through the Niagara River. This route is convenient when hauling to or from Europe and other countries and continents bordering the Atlantic Ocean.

Moving

When it comes to international hauling the Seaport position is very important. If the overseas location is in the Pacific Rim, the dock of Buffalo is not a convenient harbor of entry or exit. The vessel might have to take a long route to get to Buffalo, thereby unnecessarily delaying the shipment. In such situations, we move through the West Coast such as the Port of Vancouver, Washington, or the ports of Oakland and Los Angeles, California.

The Cost

The cost of moving is dependent on many factors. Our affordable rates are dependent on;

• Distance. In the case of the international method, we consider three distances. For the purpose of helping you understand the costs, we are going to assume you are moving from the US to an overseas destination. The first is the distance between the current location. Then the distance the cargo vessel will cover between the Port of Buffalo and the entry at the destination country. Then the distance to the final destination.
• Size of the car. The larger the car the more the fee.
• Customs duty. If you will not be available to clear it through customs, we make arrangements with customs brokers and add the cost to the total price.
• Services provided. Services such as door-to-door, enclosed options over land, and satellite tracking increase the cost.

We are experienced in moving. We are one of the few haulers that offer quality services at affordable rates. Call us today for more information and a cost estimate or visit this page for a free quote.
