Safe Vehicle Ocean Freight to Africa

SPEED INT'L provides specialized Ro-Ro and container vehicle shipping solutions from China to Africa, covering passenger cars, commercial fleets, buses, and heavy trucks.

With regular service coverage to West, East, and Southern Africa, our logistics team ensures secure, damage-free transit. Over the past 20 years, we have successfully executed 8,976 vehicle shipments, managing everything from port staging and loading workflows to direct discharge at major African ports.

1. Pre-Loading Workflow & Port Handling Process

Efficient vehicle export starts with a strict ground operation workflow. During port staging, vehicles are highly susceptible to exterior scratches and logistical confusion.

Our dedicated port captains coordinate the entire receiving and staging process. We conduct comprehensive pre-loading condition surveys, manage documentation clearance, and physically supervise the drive-on operations to ensure your automotive assets are handled solely by certified port professionals.

2. Ro-Ro vs. Container Shipping: Which Fits Your African Project?

Choosing the right transport mode significantly impacts both budget and safety:

• Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off): The industry standard for commercial fleets, buses, and heavy trucks. Vehicles are driven directly into the vessel's enclosed hull, offering highly efficient loading and unloading at destination ports like Tema and Lagos.
• Container Shipping: Ideal for high-value passenger cars or non-drivable vehicles. We utilize an optimized "4-cars-per-container" stuffing method, providing completely sealed external protection from marine exposure.

3. Enclosed Deck Safety & Heavy-Duty Securing

Severe vessel turbulence during the weeks-long transit to Africa poses a risk of vehicles shifting. For Ro-Ro shipments, SPEED INT'L secures premium space within fully enclosed decks.

Our professional ground team applies an anti-shift securing system using industrial-grade tensioners. This millimeter-level lashing craftsmanship anchors the vehicles to the deck floor, preventing any movement during ocean swells and ensuring scratch-free delivery.

4. Handling Non-Drivable & Tracked Equipment

Not all project cargo can be driven on board. For static equipment, damaged cars, or tracked machinery like excavators, we integrate specialized port equipment into the workflow. We arrange Mafi trailers, professional towing services, and utilize reinforced Ro-Ro ramps to safely load non-drivable assets without delaying the vessel.
