Nick & Adam have worked in the transport industry for many years, helping customers ship vehicles between major coastal routes across Australia.
We offer both Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) and container car shipping options, along with port-to-port transport, depot collection and selected delivery services on available routes. From booking and loading through to vessel departures and final collection, our team handles the booking, loading and shipping process between major Australian ports.
What is Coastal Car Shipping?
Coastal car shipping in Australia involves transporting vehicles by sea between major Australian ports instead of driving them long distances overland. Using the Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) method, vehicles are driven directly onto an enclosed vessel at one port, secured during the voyage and driven off again at the destination port.
Coastal vehicle shipping is commonly used for interstate relocations, dealership stock transfers, fleet movements and long-distance transport routes involving Western Australia, Tasmania and Northern Australia. It can help reduce long highway mileage while providing scheduled port-to-port vehicle transport between major coastal routes.
Depending on the type of vehicle and transport requirements, both RoRo and enclosed container shipping options may be available.
Our 3-Step Coastal Shipping Process
Coastal vehicle shipping involves more than simply booking a transport service. Vehicle loading, vessel schedules and port timing all need to be confirmed before shipping.
Step 1: Shipping Request
Let us know the type of vehicle you want to ship, your pickup location, destination port and preferred shipping timeframe. This allows us to check vessel availability and suitable coastal shipping routes.
Step 2: Vehicle & Booking Information
Provide the required vehicle and booking details including registration information, vehicle condition and transport requirements. Once confirmed, vessel scheduling and loading arrangements can be organised.
Step 3: Delivery or Depot Collection
Once the vehicle arrives at the destination port, customers can either arrange local collection from the port/depot location or request delivery options where available.

Roll-On/Roll-Off (RoRo) Shipping
