In 1999 I shipped my van from Halifax NS CDA to UK via RORO (Roll On Roll Off). I used Wallenius Wilhelmsen Lines out of Halifax. These guys do a loop to several east coast N Am Seaports and to several northern European/UK seaports. I plan to do it again next summer. I'm budgeting about US$1,000 one way. You can gets quotes. It took about 4 hours (and no hassle) to clear the car through customs in UK.

You'll need the dimentions of your van and you'll need "Green Card" insurance for driving in Europe.

Below are some helpfull sites and information. Enjoy.

My 91 Syncro Westy stats are:

Weight (approximately) = 2,000 Kilograms Length: 179.9" 4.57 metres Width: 72.6" 1.84 metres Height: 82.1" 2.09 metres

For Insurance (Green card) I delt with:
