Hello
Sorry I dont have idea for this, which country?, total weight?? maximum dimensions of the box??
These are some of the questions that will make the cargo company, you need to contact any of them.
In 2011 I send one Bike (220 Kg), India to Thailand, I make a lightweight aluminum box, also remove some parts of the bike to reduce at maximum the external sizes, I remember all cost around 1.000 E.
Minimum weight and space = Minimum Price
Also, you need disconnect the battery and remove the fuel
I,m currently in tunisia  , looking all the options to enter in Egypt :confused1: , when I have more information, I post here.

It seems to me that the news on the UNRORO website poses more questions than it provides answers:
Quote:
23.5.2014 TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF EGYPT - S.ARABIA – HAIFA - JORDAN LINE
Dear Customers,
Red Sea Ro-Ro operator and our partner, Salem Al Makrani Cargo Co. (SAMC) has declared on 23.05.2014 that they will not be able to operate the line due to operational problems at Port of Adabia.
Appeal has been made in order to operate the line from Port of Sukhna, 30 km south of Adabia, however Egyptian authorities declined this request. Therefore, we regret to inform you that we are unable to continue Iskenderun – Egypt – S.Arabia line until the problems have been resolved.
Starting from 24.05.2014 Saturday sailing and the ones afterwards, all reservations have been cancelled and only vehicles which are already in the port and all clear in terms of customs operations and payments will be loaded for Damietta.
All other requests for round trip tickets will be declined. One way ticket requests for Egypt, Israel, Jordan and S.Arabia will be accepted.
U.N. Ro-Ro and SAMC will continue to transfer the vehicles which are now in Egypt and S.Arabia and have return tickets. For this reason all vehicles in S.Arabia and Egypt should be directed to Duba and Damietta Ports.
We would also like to inform you that all necessary measures have been taken by us at Turkish and Egyptian authorities for the solution. If the problems are resolved, voyages will continue as usual. All developments will be shared with our customers.

Why are "one way ticket requests for Egypt, Israel, Jordan and S.Arabia [..]accepted?" It seems that the main problem lies on the Egypt - S.Arabia leg of this connecetion. Would be good to get more precise information here. And we have also seen the negotiations between the Turkish and Egyptian bureaucracies before ...
Greetings,
Achim

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
