Pickup Across the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany

France is covered on request as well.
- Every province of the Netherlands covered
- Belgium & Germany pickups in the same booking, France on request
- Dealer lots, auction houses, warehouses & private addresses
- One team from first message to departure
How Collection Differs by Source
What We Ship to Guinea
Most requests involve a single passenger vehicle, but that’s only part of what actually travels to Conakry through this service:
- Passenger cars, 4x4s and SUVs
- Vans and light commercial vehicles
- Trucks and heavier commercial vehicles
- Electric and hybrid models
- Machinery for mining, construction or agriculture
- Household effects and mixed cargo, loaded into 20ft or 40ft containers
Whichever applies, the starting point is the same — tell us where to collect it, what it is, and that Conakry is the destination, and the right shipping option follows.
Paperwork to Arrange Before Export
Before shipping, you’ll need a valid ID or company registration, proof of ownership, and the vehicle’s registration or export documents. We take care of the export declaration and customs paperwork to ensure a smooth departure.
Tip: Make sure the make, model, and VIN match across all documents to avoid unnecessary delays.

RoRo Shipping to Conakry
Built around anything that can move under its own power — driven onto the vessel at the European port, then driven straight back off at the Port of Conakry. No container, no lifting gear.
- Passenger cars, SUVs, vans & pickups make up most bookings
- Usually the lighter option per vehicle on price
- Simple: drives on in Europe, drives off in Conakry
Choosing Between RoRo and Container Shipping
RoRo Shipping to Guinea
A container comes into play once there’s more riding on the shipment than a single car — spare parts, machinery, boxed household items, or a couple of vehicles going together. Both 20ft and 40ft sizes are available, and everything from loading to inland transport, paperwork and the sea crossing sits under one booking.
If you’re torn between the two, just describe what’s travelling and we’ll work out whether RoRo or a container makes more sense for your budget and your timeline.
- Both 20ft and 40ft sizes available
- Loading, inland transport, paperwork & sea crossing in one booking
- Ideal for machinery, household goods & mixed cargo
Not sure which one suits your shipment? Describe what’s travelling and we’ll compare RoRo against a container for your specific vehicle, cargo and timeline.
Container Shipping as a Core Service
Container shipping from the Netherlands to Conakry is a core service in its own right — not something we only offer when a vehicle shipment happens to be too big for RoRo. Conakry handles a substantial volume of containerised cargo, and a good share of our bookings are a 20ft or 40ft container travelling on its own: household goods, business inventory, spare parts or commercial cargo, with or without a vehicle inside.
Container shipping from Belgium or Germany follows an identical path to a Dutch booking — collected close to where the cargo actually is, then transported to the same export terminal for loading.
Machinery Shipping to Conakry
Machinery shipping from the Netherlands to Conakry is arranged just as regularly as our vehicle and container bookings. Construction equipment, agricultural machinery and industrial equipment are loaded into a 20ft or 40ft container, documented and shipped through the same process as everything else — inland transport, export paperwork and ocean freight to the Port of Conakry.
What Affects the Price
No two shipments cost the same — price follows how far the vehicle must travel to reach the terminal, along with its size, weight, condition and the shipping method used. RoRo is usually cheaper per vehicle since there’s no box to pay for, though that gap narrows once extra cargo joins the booking. How far ahead you book can nudge the number too.
Rather than quote from a generic price sheet, we put a figure together once we actually know the pickup point, the vehicle and where it’s headed.
Why the Port of Conakry Works for This Route
Conakry is Guinea’s main seaport, but its reach goes well beyond the local market. Cargo arriving here regularly continues inland to landlocked neighbours such as Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Zambia, Malawi and parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo — a large part of why it ranks among East Africa’s busiest container gateways.
Clearing customs and settling duties after arrival sits with Guinean authorities rather than with us. Procedures shift, so lining up a contact on the receiving end beforehand is worth doing — everything on our side wraps up the moment the shipment leaves Europe fully documented.
Delays We Help You Avoid
Almost every delay we see traces back to something that went wrong before the vessel ever left port. The usual suspects:
- A change of pickup address or phone number that arrives too late to act on
- A VIN, make or model on the documents that doesn’t quite match the vehicle
- A car that turns out not to start, or can’t be reached, on collection day
- Missing authorisation when the person exporting isn’t the registered owner
- A booking squeezed in right at the vessel’s cut-off, with no margin left
Catch any of these before the vehicle leaves its current location and the shipment stays on track. Catch them at the terminal instead, and they cost time.
A contact number that changes after the booking is already confirmed.
Paperwork describing a different vehicle, model or VIN than what’s actually collected.
Nobody around to hand over the vehicle or cargo on the day it’s due.
Someone other than the owner exporting without proof they’re allowed to.
A booking confirmed so close to sailing that there’s no room to absorb a hiccup.

Who Relies on This Service

Frequently Asked Questions

No — we take that on, EXA Export Declaration included. From your side we typically just need ID or company registration, proof of ownership, and the registration or deregistration certificate, plus a signed authorisation if somebody else is handling the export.
It comes down to what’s travelling. One drivable vehicle usually points to RoRo; add machinery, household goods or extra vehicles, and a container tends to work out better.
