McCullough Ltd specialise in shipping, clearing and delivering motor vehicles and boats world-wide.

Importing into Australia can be costly and confusing. We have complied a comprehensive quote giving you all the costs
and proceedures. Many of the costs are not fixed in Australia so we have estimated them from our years of experience. 
Having all the information mean you can make an informed decision before you decide to ship your vehicle. 
The Customs broker in Australia plays a major part in the importation process. That is why we have selected a clearing agent that is as
passionate about vehicles as we are!   
                                                                       

Having expert agents on both sides means you are looked after throughout the shipping process.                                                        

No matter who you use to handle your shipping; 'make sure you get all the information and costs'

Shipping Services

Roll On Roll Off
The majority of motor vehicles world-wide are shipped using Roll on Roll Off vessels. New Zealand has a RORO service to Australia, leaving from Auckland and discharging in:
Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Fremantle.

Cost Efficient: These vessels are the most cost-effective way to ship motor vehicles.

Containerised
Shipping vehicles in containers from New Zealand has several advantages

Protection: Once the vehicle is loaded into the container the vehicle cannot be accessed until it is unpacked
in Australia. This prevents any threat of theft or damage


                                                                        


Peter Brock's Holden Monaro was shipped over for the 2006 Targa Rally 


Flexibiltiy: Containers load from most major ports in New Zealand vs Roll On Roll Off - from Auckland only. Containerised cargo has more options when it comes to destination ports in Australia vs the four major ones offered by Roll On Roll Off.

Inner Cargo: The vehicle can have inner cargo inside vs no inner cargo for Roll On Roll Off

Cost: Container shipping is slightly more expensive than Roll On Roll Off. Enquire now for a quote
