Ship vehicles, machinery and cargo from the USA to Libya

It depends on the US origin, the container size, the cargo, the Libyan port, and whether pickup is needed. Western and eastern ports have different service frequency, which affects both cost and timing. As a direct NVOCC rather than a broker, the rate you get is the carrier rate.

Fill the container. Ocean freight is charged on the box rather than per vehicle, so three or four cars in a 40ft container costs dramatically less per unit than one shipped alone. If you buy regularly, timing several purchases onto one booking is the single biggest saving on this lane.

In a container, booked directly with the ocean carrier. Cassandra Logistics is a licensed US NVOCC, so you deal with the carrier rather than a middleman reselling space. We collect anywhere in the USA, load and secure it at our own warehouse, file the US export documentation and ship it to Tripoli, Misrata or Benghazi. Get a quote in 24 to 48 hours.

It scales with distance from the auction yard or seller to our loading warehouse in New Jersey, Savannah, Houston, or Baltimore. East Coast purchases usually position most efficiently for Mediterranean sailings. We include the figure in the quote so the comparison is complete.

Get the file right before it sails. Consistent details across the bill of lading, invoice and packing list, advance registration handled by your agent, an accurate cargo description, and nothing undeclared inside the vehicles. Almost every hold we see anywhere traces back to paperwork rather than the cargo itself.

Tell us how many before we book. Three or four vehicles fit a 40ft container depending on size, and because freight is charged on the box rather than per car, each one you add cuts the cost per unit sharply. If you buy regularly, planning purchases onto a single booking is where the money is.

Typically three or four depending on the vehicles. Sedans and compact SUVs load efficiently while full-size American pickup trucks take more room and often reduce the count to two or three. We confirm the loading plan once we know the exact units.

Yes. We collect vehicles won at Copart, IAA, Manheim and eBay Motors directly from the yard in any US state, load them at our warehouse in New Jersey, Savannah, Houston or Baltimore, and ship them to your Libyan port. Read the auction export guide.

The vehicle cannot be exported until the title or equivalent ownership document is in hand, since the US export filing requires it. We can collect and hold the car at our warehouse while the title clears, which stops auction storage charges accumulating at the yard. Flag it at quote stage.

Container, on this lane. Roll-on roll-off services to Libya are limited and less predictable, and container shipping gives better protection plus the ability to consolidate several vehicles into one booking. It also handles non-running vehicles, which RoRo generally cannot.

Yes. A vehicle that cannot be driven is winched into the container rather than driven in, which needs different equipment at both collection and loading but is entirely routine. Tell us in advance, because a car described as running that arrives seized changes the loading plan on the day.

Yes, and reconstruction and infrastructure work keeps demand steady. We export excavators, loaders, dozers, generators and plant, shipping containerised, on flat-rack, or by heavy haulage depending on dimensions and weight, with dismantling and securing where required.

Yes. Machinery bought at Ritchie Bros., IronPlanet and Purple Wave is regular export work for us. We collect from the auction site anywhere in the USA, arrange dismantling and securing where required, and prepare the machine for ocean transit.

Within 24 to 48 hours. Tell us what you are shipping, roughly where it sits in the USA, and which Libyan city it is going to. The city matters more than the port here, because it decides which side of the country you are shipping into and that changes the routing.

Yes, and it is usually the efficient thing to do. Buckets, breakers, spare tracks and parts travel far more cheaply in the same container than shipped separately later. Everything must be listed on the export filing, so send the full inventory rather than adding items on loading day.

Yes. We photograph the cargo on arrival at our warehouse and again once it is loaded and secured, before the container doors are closed. That record is yours, and it is what makes any claim straightforward instead of an argument about what condition things left in.

Misrata is Libya's busiest port and the port and surrounding area have held free trade zone status since 2000. That free zone status generally means more predictable customs processing than the alternatives, which is why a good deal of cargo routes there even when the final destination is elsewhere in the west.

Yes, though scheduled container service to the eastern ports is less frequent than to the west, which affects timing more than cost. If your cargo is destined for the east, book earlier and expect fewer sailing options. We tell you the realistic schedule with the quote.

Physically it happens, but it means crossing between areas administered differently, with its own formalities and risk. Whether it makes sense for your cargo is a question for your Libyan clearing agent. We would rather discharge at the right port than create an inland problem for you.

Yes, from any state. Copart, IAA, Manheim and eBay Motors yards, dealers or private sellers. We collect, bring the vehicle to New Jersey, Savannah, Houston or Baltimore, and load it. You never need to arrange trucking yourself, and getting the car off the yard early stops storage charges building.

We do. Cassandra Logistics is federally licensed under FMC OTI No. 025125NF and ships vehicles in containers, heavy equipment and general cargo from anywhere in the United States to Tripoli, Misrata, Benghazi and Al Khoms. Tell us what you are moving and where it sits in the States and we will price it properly rather than quoting a guess. Ask us for a quote

We book the space, give you the cut-off dates and collect the cargo. We load, secure and photograph it, file the US export declaration and issue your bill of lading. Your Libyan clearing agent takes it from the port, and we make sure they have the documents they need before the vessel sails.

Yes. Full container load commercial cargo from any US origin is normal work for us, including building materials, industrial goods and equipment supporting construction and reconstruction. Tell us the commodity, weight and volume and we will quote it.

It depends on the US loading port, the carrier's schedule, and the Mediterranean transshipment that is common on this route. Eastern Libyan ports generally take longer because service is less frequent. We give a concrete timeline with the quote rather than a generic range.
