Shipping Methods to Barbados


We operate one ship per week from UK to Barbados, through ports of Southampton, Sheerness, New Castle, Tilbury and Immingham. We typically export to Bridgetown where you can collect the vehicle, OR using our local Barbadians agents, we can arrange for the clearance of your vehicle when it arrives in Bridgetown.

The ships take approximately 17 days to get to Bridgetown from the UK. There are two main methods of shipping vehicles from the UK to Barbados:

- RoRo Car Shipping to Barbados from the UKRORO Shipping - RoRo is short for "Roll on Roll off" and is the simplest, cheapest, and most popular method of shipping. Vehicles are driven into the ship and securely fixed to the deck of the ship, and when the ship arrives in Bridgetown, they are driven out of the ship. Putting personal goods in the vehicles is usually not permitted when shipping by RoRo.

- CONTAINER Shipping - this is where vehicles are secured in a container, which is then loaded onto the ship. Container shipping is a more expensive but secure option, and is ideal if you are sending high-value vehicles or if you are sending other items with your car, such as household goods or spare parts.
