Flexibility and Speed

With the UK’s automotive industry set to become a £100 billion+ trade hub, it is crucial for companies to have a reliable and adaptable partner for secure cargo transportation.  

With multiple weekly ocean services and a strategically positioned port and intermodal network near major UK manufacturing hubs, we offer fast and efficient logistics operations between the UK and all key automotive trading routes.

Local Expertise for Automotive Excellence

With over 45 years of industry experience, MSC is committed to delivering customer excellence and finding the best solution for your cargo; ensuring your cars, motorcycles or engine parts are in the right place at the right time, every time. Our dedicated UK team is equipped to provide bespoke car securing methods, including specialised loading and lashing techniques, tailored drop-and-swap agreements, and customised storage options.  

By fastening cars securely inside of our clean, dry, and odour free containers, we protect your valuable vehicles from the elements as well as any potential damage for the duration of their journey. 

Driving Sustainable Supply Chains

As the automotive industry begins to move into a new, greener era, we are here to provide the fast, flexible solutions you need to ensure an uninterrupted supply chain. Our containerisation approach offers a greener alternative to traditional roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro) shipping: 

  • Transport more vehicles at once, optimising space and reducing the frequency of shipments
  • Utilise a wider range of UK ports closer to origin or final destination, minimising road miles and reducing overall carbon emissions
  • By stacking multiple cars within a single MSC container, we significantly reduce emissions per vehicle transported

Containerisation offers a safer, more sustainable and efficient alternative to roll-on/roll-off shipping for transporting vehicles.

" MSC has a long and successful history of working with the largest Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in the automotive sector. From finished vehicles to aftermarket parts, these industry leaders know they can rely on us as a reliable link in their time-critical supply chains. "
