Just got an e-mail from Mr. Lim:

Dear David,

Shipping a bike from Penang to Belawan is impossible unless send it by container vessel. But in your case, if you are sending your bike from Belawan, Indonesia to Penang, please go to our agent in Belawan and I think they can do something to help you out.

PT MELDA JAYA
JL BANGKA TIMUR
NO. 49 BELAWAN, INDONESIA.

TE: 77671410

Anyone any news about shipping to Indo? Nothing here yet, we are meanwhile 4-5 bikes stucked in Malaysia. One way possible is to hire a container, it takes 10 days and it is super expensive plus you will find your bike in the Indo Customs, one place where you do not want to have your bike. It is a nightmare. they let you pay so much money that you which you would have shipped straight to Australia.

So anyone an Idea???

cheers and grts from Malacca

Hi Burn,

Can you please give some more information about the ferry company? Where to find them, how and how much would be very useful. Also, can you travel in the same ferry as the bike or not?

Thanks
Nacho

As we dont want to spoil the last possible way to Indo with a bike we dont posted the details openly in the internet somewhere. Instead we prepared a PDF with all contacts, documents needed and phone numbers as written in the other threads. We could help a lot of people till now. So if you want any detailed HowToCrossToIndo Instruction send a PM with your Email and I or Martin will send you a PDF with everything you need.

cheers

PS: The Info is of cause for free, nothing in for us other to help. We don´t konw the "helpers" closer neither we get any comission from them. And anyhting can change daily but at least this is a start... Good luck! Indo was one of the greatet countries to cross. "HELLO MISTER" ))))))

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.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
