Routes & Schedule
Why Ocean Gate

One forwarder from Amsterdam to the final city

RoRo first
Not a container broker with a RoRo sideline. Rolling cargo is the core of what we do.
Beyond the port
Lattakia is a waypoint, not the destination. We carry on to Damascus, Amman, Baghdad and Erbil.
Customs in-house
EX-A, EUR.1 and T1 filed by our own team before the cargo moves to the quay.
Out-of-gauge welcome
Machinery, cranes and non-running units — the awkward loads other forwarders decline.

Questions

Frequently asked

Read more
  • What exactly is RoRo shipping?
    Roll-on/Roll-off means your vehicle or machine is driven aboard under its own power or on a mafi trailer. No container is involved, so out-of-gauge cargo travels easily and the cost is lower than containerised shipping.
  • Can a non-running vehicle be shipped?
    Yes. Non-running units are loaded on a mafi trailer. Flag this on your quote request — it carries a different rate band and the loading has to be scheduled in advance.
  • Which documents do I need to export from the Netherlands?
    For a vehicle: the original registration documents (parts I and II), the invoice or bill of sale, a copy of your ID, and the export declaration (EX-A). Transit to Jordan or Iraq adds a T1 document. We file the declaration and check your file before the cargo moves to the quay.
  • How do I track my shipment?
    Use Track & Trace on this site with your B/L number or the vehicle chassis number (VIN). You will see the current status, the vessel name and the expected arrival date.
  • May I leave personal effects inside the vehicle?
    Usually not. Carriers and customs rarely permit loose personal effects and they fall outside the insurance cover. Contact us if you need to send belongings — a separate declaration is sometimes possible.
