Vehicle Shipping & Transport
Importing, exporting and moving vehicles through the UAE - cars, commercial trucks and plant, with the paperwork that goes with them.
A vehicle is the one consignment that can move under its own power, which changes almost everything about how it is handled - and it carries more paperwork than most freight, because ownership has to be proved as well as value. Cannata handles vehicles through the UAE: bringing them in, sending them out, and moving them between addresses on our own transporters. Related sea bookings run through our RO-RO shipping service. Shipping a vehicle rolled on rather than containerised changes the documents required, as our RO-RO vehicle shipping guide explains.
Cars and trucks brought in, cleared and released, with the duty and ownership documentation handled. See import of cars and trucks.
Vehicles moved between addresses on transporters or driven, within the UAE. See vehicle collection and delivery.
Everything on the UAE side of a RO-RO sailing - inspection, paperwork and port delivery. See RO-RO vehicle logistics.
Trucks, buses and wheeled plant moved as fleet operations rather than one at a time. See commercial vehicle handling.
Vehicle movements carry ownership and export documentation on top of the customs entry - prepared by our own clearance team.
Anything that cannot be driven onto a vessel or a transporter is handled as freight instead - see oversized and heavy cargo handling for units that need lifting.
Vehicles frequently need somewhere secure to sit between collection and a sailing, or between arrival and registration. Our Dubai facilities take them.
An imported vehicle is not usable until it is registered, which is the owner's process rather than ours. What we can do is make sure the customs and ownership paperwork it depends on is correct and complete.
Why Cannata
Vehicle movements fail on documentation far more often than on transport, which is why doing both in one company matters more here than in ordinary freight.
Vehicles moved on our own fleet rather than driven by whoever was available, which matters for condition and for insurance.
Registration and export paperwork prepared alongside the customs entry rather than left with you to chase.
Secure space to hold a vehicle between collection and a sailing, instead of leaving it standing at a terminal.
