UK International Shipping Services — Cars, Cargo, Air Freight Worldwide

TheShipCars Worldwide is a UK-based international freight forwarder with direct contracts across every major ocean carrier, RoRo operator and air-cargo airline serving the United Kingdom. Whether you're emigrating with a single car, exporting fleet stock as a trader, moving an entire household overseas or shipping a time-critical commercial consignment by air, we handle the complete door-to-door chain under one Bill of Lading and one point of contact.

Our services cluster into four areas. Vehicle shipping covers Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) for running cars, container shipping for non-runners, classics and high-value vehicles, R-Rak multi-car loads for dealers, and specialist services for motorbikes, trucks and commercial vehicles. Container shipping covers 20ft and 40ft FCL, LCL groupage, High Cube, Open Top and Flat Rack equipment for household relocations, machinery and general cargo. Air freight covers express, standard and consolidated services through London Heathrow and major UK airports for time-critical or high-value cargo. Support services wrap everything together — UK door-to-port collection, in-house HMRC customs clearance under our own EORI, all-risks marine insurance through Lloyd's-backed underwriters, and destination paperwork guidance for every country we serve.

Why customers choose TheShipCars Worldwide

We're a BIFA-member UK freight forwarder with over a decade of vehicle and cargo export experience. We hold direct contracts with every major RoRo line (Wallenius Wilhelmsen, Höegh Autoliners, K-Line, Grimaldi), container carrier (Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, ONE, Evergreen) and air-cargo airline serving the UK. That means real contract rates passed straight to you rather than mark-ups bought through middlemen. Our compliance team handles HMRC export paperwork, port security, biosecurity and destination documentation in-house, and a dedicated coordinator stays with every shipment from booking through to delivery confirmation.

Routes and destinations

We ship from every UK loading port — Southampton, Sheerness, Felixstowe, Tilbury, London Gateway, Bristol (Avonmouth), Liverpool and Grimsby for sea freight; London Heathrow, Stansted, East Midlands, Manchester and Glasgow Prestwick for air. Destination coverage spans over 200 ports across the USA, Canada, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC, all of East and West Africa, Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific, the Caribbean, Cyprus, Malta, Hong Kong and almost every Asian and South American market via transhipment.
