Excellence in car transport
NYK’s core business practice is the shipping and transport of cars and mainly finished vehicles. We strive to provide industry leading service in vehicle transportation, organising car transport from manufacturing plants to societies all over the globe. Manufacturers rely on NYK for efficient, effective and safe international car shipping.
Vehicle shipping is also available at multiple scales. While NYK does work with car shipping companies to ship large quantities of vehicles around the world, we are also available to help you with the question “How can I ship my car?”. With our roll on roll off ship options it is a breeze to organise getting cars on and off our vessels. We’re always looking for ways to improve our service in the auto shipping industry so that we can match all of our customer’s needs.
Shipping cars of all kinds
Cars come in all shapes and sizes, with different parts and mechanical components present across the wide range of styles and brands available. Sometimes individuals have added custom changes to their vehicles that will require alternate handling and knowledge during auto shipping.
At NYK we are equipped to transport electric vehicles, hydrogen vehicles, standard diesel and petrol vehicles as well as cars of any size, from hatchbacks to SUVs. We want to be the go to choice in vehicle shipping so if you or your company are unsure whether car shipping is available, do not hesitate to contact NYK.
Dedicated car transport
With a focus on car transport service, NYK has always strived to be adaptable and ready to solve any potential issues that might arise. We designed and built our first Pure Car Carrier (PCC) vessel in the 1960s so we could focus on excellence in shipping cars. Both locally and internationally we provide RORO shipping to the automotive industry, opening up the opportunity for both domestic and export trade options.
With purpose built vehicle transport at our disposal, we can effectively respond to the ever changing landscape of international car shipping. Car shipping companies know us as the dominant force in this global economy and we keep abreast of trends within the vehicle transport space to ensure we maintain that level of excellence.
Safety is our top priority
We are committed to providing a safe and healthy working environment and achieving Zero Harm by developing and implementing a robust safety culture through training and transparent reporting.
We also work closely with port services to ensure safety remains the top priority during operational activities ashore.
