RoRo Shipping from Antwerp to Lagos
Antwerp is one of Europe’s principal gateways for exporting vehicles, trucks and heavy machinery to West Africa.
The Port of Antwerp-Bruges handles substantial volumes of RoRo and automotive cargo and provides maritime connections for vehicles, trailers, machinery and other rolling equipment.
RoRo means roll-on/roll-off.
Vehicles are driven or towed into the port terminal, loaded onto a specialised RoRo vessel and discharged at the destination terminal in Lagos.
RoRo shipping is generally suitable for:
- Cars and SUVs
- Vans and minibuses
- Tractor units
- Rigid trucks
- Tipper trucks
- Tanker trucks
- Crane trucks
- Concrete mixer trucks
- Recovery trucks
- Refrigerated trucks
- Buses and coaches
- Trailers and semi-trailers
- Excavators
- Wheel loaders
- Bulldozers
- Agricultural tractors
- Road construction machines
- Mining and industrial equipment
The cargo must meet the terminal and shipping carrier’s acceptance requirements.
What Is Antwerp Quay 1333?
Antwerp Quay 1333 is a port delivery location used for certain vehicle and RoRo export operations.
The exact quay, terminal, delivery address and entrance instructions depend on the shipping carrier, booking and vessel.
A vehicle should never be delivered to Antwerp Quay 1333 based only on an informal instruction from a seller or driver.
Before delivery, the booking agent should confirm:
- Correct terminal
- Quay number
- Booking reference
- Vehicle identification details
- Terminal opening hours
- Driver-entry instructions
- Export customs status
- Latest cargo-delivery date
- Vessel cut-off time
Terminal assignments and operational instructions can change. Always use the delivery information shown on the current booking confirmation.

RoRo Shipping from Antwerp to Lagos, Nigeria

Depending on the carrier and available service, the Lagos discharge location may be identified as Lagos, Tin Can Island or a specific terminal within the Lagos port complex.
The destination shown on the final Bill of Lading must match the confirmed booking.
Customers should not assume that every Antwerp-to-Lagos booking uses the same Nigerian terminal.
We confirm the available discharge option when preparing the shipping quotation.
RoRo Shipping Rates from Antwerp to Lagos
RoRo freight for vehicles and machinery is normally influenced by:
- Vehicle type
- Overall length
- Overall width
- Overall height
- Total cubic volume
- Vehicle weight
- Running condition
- Loading terminal
- Destination terminal
- Vessel capacity
- Current carrier surcharges
- Port handling requirements
Commercial vehicles and machinery are commonly rated using cubic metres.
The calculation is:
Length × width × height = cubic metres
For example:
7.50 metres × 2.50 metres × 3.40 metres = 63.75 m³
Accurate dimensions are essential.
An incorrect height or length can result in a revised freight charge, port delay or refusal of the vehicle.

The driver may need to carry or provide:

Can Trucks Carry Spare Parts?
Shipping carriers and terminals may restrict or prohibit loose spare parts, personal effects and commercial goods inside vehicles.
Do not load engines, gearboxes, tyres, batteries, body panels or other parts inside a truck without obtaining written approval.
Where additional cargo is accepted, it may need to be:
