Shipping Methods from China to Kenya

Container Shipping

Container shipping is the preferred method for valuable vehicles and smaller orders to Kenya. We use 40-foot high cube (40HQ) containers that can typically accommodate:

• 3-4 compact or mid-size sedans
• 2-3 SUVs or crossovers
• 2 large SUVs or pickup trucks

Vehicles are professionally secured inside the container using wheel straps and wooden bracing. Container shipping offers maximum protection from weather, saltwater, and potential damage during transit to Kenya. It is also the most secure method, as containers are sealed at origin and only opened at destination.

RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) Shipping

RoRo shipping is the most cost-effective method for bulk orders to Kenya. Vehicles are driven onto specialized car carrier vessels and secured below deck in climate-controlled holds. RoRo is ideal for shipping 5 or more vehicles and offers regular weekly or bi-weekly sailings from major Chinese ports.

Advantages of RoRo shipping to Kenya include lower per-vehicle cost, faster loading/unloading, and the ability to ship oversized vehicles. However, RoRo vehicles are exposed to the elements during loading/unloading, and there is slightly higher risk of minor cosmetic damage compared to container shipping.

• Shanghai Port — China's largest port, with the most frequent sailings to Kenya.
• Ningbo-Zhoushan Port — Located near Shanghai, competitive rates to Kenya.
• Qingdao Port — Northern China's main port, good for RoRo to Kenya.
• Tianjin Port — Serving North China, convenient for vehicles sourced from northern regions.
