Shipping

Trying to find out how to ship Mo was probably the most time consuming preparation and most definitely the steepest learning curve. No reason other than the fact that shipping a vehicle was about as foreign a task as we had set ourselves to do. Googling shipping companies eventually evolved into understanding that it was forwarding agents we needed to contact. But with a list of requirements as long as one’s arm, and understanding agents from GAC, Mo is almost ready to go.

Documentation required:


  • Shipping Instruction
  • Carnet du Passage – from AA
  • Pre-shipment condition report
  • Police clearance
  • Letter from the vehicle financiers (if still financed)
  • Certified copies of the license papers
Mo was shipped from Durban, South Africa on 15 November and arrived in Tema, Ghana on 8 December. Not Bad!
