vehicle shipping

Does anyone know anything about shipping vehicles to either Kazakhstan (overland) or Russia (Vladivostok on a roll on roll off basis)? Am coming up with a general blank in terms of useful info from the internet. mainly its just shipping firms but they dont actually do those routes or dont offer them as they're agents or whatever.

I have been looking into this quite a bit lately. I have come to the conclusion that Ro-Ro can be risky, especially with a kitted out Landy, and considering a container will only cost you about 25-30% more it is good for the peace of mind

.

Best way to do things is through a agent- I am looking at going with www.andrewsshipping.co.uk/. You are probably best just giving them a bell and seeing what they say

Speaking to a shipping agent directly would be your best bet. Khazakstan and Vladi being within a stone's throw of China would make me think that something would be possible. Is it for you? Are you planning a nice drive home once shipped?

Seb, not driving home no, I don't have time for that length of trip, not for a while. It's for two vehicles for a reconnaisance trip siberia/mongolia and it'll be the landcruiser that's going rather than the landrover

Good old M&S shipping will put your car in a container and ship to Cyprus for around 700

I am in Kazakhstan right now. In a place called Aktau on the Caspian Sea. Some of our contractors bring in equipment on a regular basis, and I am asking about local shipping agents. I will pm you if I get a response. 2009 110 SVX 60th Anniversary - Santorini Black

I'd love to know how this trip goes.
In the future when the children are a bit older I want to take my Camel 110 back to Mongolia and we have friends in Southern Sibera near Lake Baikal.
