Container shipping Dubai to Port Sudan

Hi

avoiding Egypt our route is Iran, UAE, Oman and

we got the first quote shipping a container from Dubai to Port Sudan


Container incl. all local charges in Jebel Ali/Dubai to Port Sudan:

20" 2.125USD
40" 3.100USD

transit Time: 10 Tage.

transport insurance 360USD

fees, fixer, custom, etc. in Port Sudan is not included

We are planning to ship sometime in November, our Minibus is about 4,60m ... the 20" container is 5,70m ... so 1 motorcycle should fit

Of course a 40" has much more space (2 cars, several motorcycles)

Anybody interested in the same shipping route and like to share the costs ???

Cheers Thomas & Andrea

2. quote

Hi

today we got another quote ...

Dear Mr Thomas


Please find the below rate from Salalah Oman to Port Sudan per 20' container


Freight charges : Usd 2600 Per 20' and including Local charges at Salalah.

Transit Time 13 days


Weekly Sailing


Rate Valid till 15 Sept 2013

So far the quote from Dubai is cheaper (20' $2125.-) and there is a flight directly to Port Sudan for about Euro 110.- every Monday

Hi Tom,

Can you tell me which companies you contacted for the shipping to Port Sudan? I'm interested in shipping a Landcruiser from Dubai to Port Sudan too. I expect to be in Dubai at the end of November. Are you still there then? Sharing costs would be nice.

Greetings,
Pim

container

Hi

just arrived in Durban by plane ...

loading the car in the container was very easy ....

first you need a port pass (bring an invation from the shipping company), drive to the warehouse, take out you personel belongings and they drive the car into the container and strap it tightly

they told me that they ship 15-20 cars every day to many destination, the guys at the warehouse are all nice and helpful

We can really recommend the company ... icbdubai.com

Hope this is useful ...

Now in Durban, we are waiting for the container to arrive ...

TuA
