Traveling in Mali

With little means of public transportation throughout the country, having a personal vehicle is a great decision. Public transportation in Mali consists of railways and many small, unpaved airports. Even by regional standards, Mali's roadways are considered to be in poor condition.

Travel throughout the country is already difficult, but with a personal vehicle, it will be much more convenient when local travel is necessary. Whether a person is out there for work, study or for permanent residency, a personal car will come in handy.

Container or RO/RO Shipping- Which is Best?

Both container shipping and RO/RO shipping are wonderful options. Although Mali has no seaports, a vehicle can be imported nearby. Selecting a method of exporting will depend on budget and whether or not there are other belongings to be shipped.

Container shipping is a method that can allow for other property to be shipped along with the vehicle. There will be extra space in the container and the vehicle can be filled too. The cost of the container can be split with another person if sharing a container. This will help reduce costs. Just make sure that the property in the vehicle is permitted by Mali Customs.

RO/RO shipping is the roll on, roll off method that requires the vehicle to be completely empty. Floor mats, a spare tire, and a car jack are permitted. The car must be able to drive on and off the ship and costs slightly less than container shipping.

How Will My Oversized Cargo Be Shipped to Mali?

At A-1, we work with a variety of shipping vessels as some are better suited for some tasks than others. If your cargo is immobile and too large for a shipping container, then your best bet is to use the LoLo (Lift On/Lift Off) shipping method. Whether in a container, or a flat rack, this vessel will lift and place your cargo onto the ship. Usually the costliest method of transport, it’s a one size fits all approach for very large items. If your cargo is wheeled and self propelled, then your in luck! The least expensive and simplest method of transport is RoRo (Roll On/Roll Off). As the name implies, operable cargo will roll into an opening in the ship’s hull for transport and roll off upon arrival. Gated by height restrictions given the vessel’s hull size, this is a very common and secure method of transport.

If your cargo is too large and inoperable, then we recommend using a flat rack for shipping. A flat rack allows for oversized freight that otherwise would not fit into a shipping container. Essentially a shipping container with an open top, or without walls, the most unique shaped items are typically transported via this method and ultimately placed on top of the ship. Exposure to elements may be cause for concern and we recommend shrink wrapping your freight if necessary. If your cargo is too small for a flat rack, then we would recommend going the container shipping route. It is perhaps the most expensive route for shipping to Mali, but it is also the most secure and the most resistant to outside conditions. Containers come in 20ft and 40ft sizes and can even accommodate many vehicles.
