KARMAN
SHIPPING LTD, originally established in 1984 by Richard Korge, is a Car
Shipping and Forwarding Agent specialising in the shipment of Motor
Vehicles from the UK to Worldwide destinations.
Here in the UK our Offices are located in Leighton Buzzard,
Bedfordshire. We also have private warehouse facilities near Barking,
just to the East of London, for the preparation and packing of vehicles
into containers.(Location

Our normal services include the
collection or receiving of Motor Vehicles here in the UK, preparation
for shipment, re-delivery to the export loading berth at the UK port of
shipment or packing and securing of the vehicle into a container,
export documentation, payment of UK port and handling charges and ocean
freight through to arrival at the port of destination. We can also
provide Shipment Protection cover at most competitive rates.
For your further guidance we can advise that we can recommend agents in
most countries of the world. These representatives overseas have been
specifically selected for their specialist knowledge concerning the
procedure for importing vehicles to their respective Countries.
To proceed with the shipment of a Motor Vehicle, we would only require
for one of our Application for Shipping Space forms to be completed and
returned to us. Once shipment has been effected the shipping and
shipment protection documents, along with our instructions concerning
the clearance and delivery of the car at the destination port, are
airmailed to the overseas address well in advance of the vessels
arrival date. We would require payment in the UK before shipment.
Many of the things that are now expected of a Motor Vehicle Shipping
Agent originated at Karman Shipping.
It all began back in 1984, on December 3rd to be precise. That was the
day the ‘Specialist Car Shipper’ was born. It was
one of the first customers who best described the services provided by
this new Freight Forwarding Company, "…
in
these days of slipshod workmanship and shoddy service, it really is a
delight to deal with an outfit like Karman".
This simply stated philosophy is the very essence of everything we
still do today. In fact, for most people, the words ‘Karman
Shipping’ does not simply describe a Company in the Freight
Forwarding industry, but also a method of handling cars that is unique.
These ideas and their attitudes continue to shape the Karman Shipping
service to this day and appear like milestones in the history of our
Company. But our enthusiasm for innovation is always tempered by our
responsibility to our customers – and to the safety of their
vehicles.
We know that our painstaking method of shipping cars takes more time
and trouble, but that’s fine with us, as long as there are
customers who appreciate such commitment. They make our efforts
worthwhile. |
