RoRo shipping to Kenya: Costs and Transit Times

For the Southampton–Mombasa standard-car enquiry, allow EUR 2,500–5,500 for the main sea transport. The van example uses EUR 4,000–7,000, while a motorhome needs EUR 6,000–9,000 with a different route, size and handling scope. These are indicative planning ranges for operable vehicles; actual acceptance and itinerary still need confirmation. The complete cost also depends on terminal charges, clearance and any collection or onward delivery you request.

The choice depends on dimensions, weight, contents and handling requirements. The options above describe different service scopes, not interchangeable prices. Provide accurate measurements and your preferred date so we can assess the suitable equipment. Acceptance is confirmed before booking.

For Kenya, the main transport time must be distinguished from collection, consolidation, clearance and delivery. Sailing dates, connections, terminal release and final handover are confirmed in the written proposal; examples are not direct-service or frequency claims. We will confirm the itinerary and expected handover window with the proposal. Do not schedule a final delivery solely from a vessel or flight arrival estimate.

Yes, request the legs you need and provide complete addresses. For Mombasa, tell us whether handover is at a terminal, depot or private address. Access and unloading requirements affect the scope. The quote will say which legs are included.

Mombasa is the coastal gateway in these examples; Nairobi and Kisumu require inland forwarding. Confirm age, steering configuration and any inspection requirements for the individual vehicle. Supply make, model, year, VIN, dimensions, weight and proof of ownership. Declare fuel type, battery condition and any damage or non-running condition. The receiving agent must confirm applicable import and registration requirements.

Indicative sea-transport planning ranges in EUR for an operable vehicle, not a confirmed carrier tariff or door-to-door total. Length, width, height, weight, condition and direction affect the quotation. Collection, onward transport, terminals, customs, taxes, inspections and insurance are additional unless included in writing. Machinery is assessed separately by dimensions and handling needs. Terminal costs, taxes, insurance and local transport must be checked separately against the written quote.

Yes, you can request either direction. The receiving country, contents and handover requirements determine the documentation and available service. An outward price does not automatically apply to the return journey. Swap the origin and destination in the form for a separate assessment.

No. Your request lets us check cargo, routing and services. We will respond within 24 hours, but a booking requires an accepted proposal and confirmed availability. Do not deliver cargo to a terminal until the handover instructions are confirmed.
