Ship Car To Port-Gentil

Car Shipping Port–Gentil

Port–Gentil is well known as the second-largest city in Gabon. It is also the leading seaport for this country. This port is also the center of all the petroleum and timber industries around the area and lies close to Cape Lopez.

If you want to import, you will need to check the rules and regulations first. You must turn in all your paperwork at least four weeks in advance to customs so your car can board the ship with no problem. When you fill out the paperwork and submit it, you will then need to wait for your application to be reviewed and approved before you can haul it. If you don't turn in your paperwork within four weeks of the day you plan to move out, you may be met with delays and complications.

• Proof of ownership.
• Current registration card.
• Purchase invoice with details about the engine/chassis number, year, make, and model of the vehicle you are importing .
• Receipt for any payments made for taxes.
• BIETC Number from the government authorities in Gabon.

You will have options when you are filling out your paperwork for your import to Gabon. You will need to choose between the Roll-On/Roll-Off and container methods. Your choice will depend on your budget as one is more expensive than the other.

RORO requires a minimal amount of money. It is driven onto the deck of the ship where it is fastened and secured inside of a bay. The weather will certainly be able to reach your auto as it will be exposed to all elements during the trip. If you are just traveling around Gabon, you will most likely choose this method.

The container method has good points and bad. You can choose a twenty-foot or a forty-foot container. You will be able to load everything into one container from the car to the household items. Once the container is filled, your container will then be loaded onto the deck and secured for the duration of the trip. Since your automobile is inside of an enclosed container, it will not be exposed to any weather elements. If you need any assistance, you will need to call the Embassy of Gabon for a full list of details.
