You want it in a container or drive on? There are direct shippers to Bremerhaven and the rates are good. My 911 went to a port in Denmark using CFR Line in Paramount. My buyer regularly ships cars from CA to Europe. These go by container.

If you want it to go on the ro-ro ship from Long Beach, it may leave from the terminal where my wife works. She has nothing to do with the cars except the manifest. You go through a freight forwarding agent. Contact Wilhelmsen. You cannot drive the car inside the terminal gate and the longshore can't come outside. It has to cross onto the property on the back of a tow truck with clearance to do that work. Then the car is driven by a union longshore onto the ship and tied down. Of course, leave absolutely nothing in the car. It may sit in the warehouse for days unlocked. Lots of dock workers check out the cars. I have even done that, but I've never even touched one.

That's me, not them. Not many really nice cars go this way, BTW. But I did see a bunch of Bentleys leave on the ro-ro once for a club meeting in England. Must be a unique club.

(ro-ro stands for roll on-roll off.)
