Ive used these guys to get the Bee over to Norway. The Bee is conming over in a Container and I was quoted cheaper than Hill Shipping for RORO. They seemt o have good reviews in Norway.

Tel, I have used Hill twice and were fine

Good luck with that. Just one observation, doesn't the wheelbase need some slight adjustment?

Sounds alright to me Terry

Nice Car mate, although at very least you ought to consider mini-tubbing it

Might be able to help you out with an inboard kit
