Classic VW Camper's Longest Journey

Here at Wavecrest we are often asked to ship classic VW Camper vans both to and from the UK.

 

More often that not they are shipped into the UK from countries such as the USA, South Africa, Australia or like these ones, from New Zealand. They are quite often restoration projects.

 

Recently, however, we were asked to ship the VW Camper van pictured above from the UK to Vancouver as the owner was emigrating to Canada with his family. He did not want to leave his pride and joy behind.

 

The van was dropped off at our warehouse in Gravesend, Kent where it was then carefully lashed and secured into a 20' container for the 11,500 mile voyage.

 

The van was originally imported into the UK from Germany and since then the owner has embarked on a number of adventures including driving it across the Sahara to Morocco and back.

 

The 30 day voyage to Vancouver will be it's longest journey yet.

 

If you would like help shipping your VW Camper to or from the UK we'd be pleased to hear from you.

 

Tel: 01474 331146 or e-mail: glen@wavecrest.co.uk for further assistance.

Wanted: New Right Hand Man (or Lady)

....to work in our busy Gravesend, Kent shipping and forwarding office....

The pay is nothing special, but you will find the work interesting and varied.

We are a shipping, freight forwarding and warehousing company established in 1994, and like to think pretty good at what we do.

I need someone to help keep me on the straight and narrow.

You must be from a shipping or freight forwarding background, articulate, numerate, have a good working knowledge of IT, resourceful, organised, good with people, mature in attitude and flexible.


You will never be bored but sometimes challenged. One day you might be arranging a pallet delivery to Newport Pagnell and the next organising the shipping of a Mclaren F1 super car to New Zealand.

As far as I know everyone who has done this job (only 3 in the last 20 years) enjoyed it. Age is not important. The oldest doing this job was 65; the youngest, 18.  

The reason for the ad is that Charlie is retiring for a well deserved rest after over forty years in the business. 

They will be big boots to fill but if you think you may be the one to fill them, please write an e-mail telling me about yourself to glen@wavecrest.co.uk

Consolidation service to New Zealand

Wavecrest Ltd operates a regular consolidated container shipping service from the UK to New Zealand ports.

Here are a few examples of the cargo loaded in the most recent container to Auckland...

We arranged collection of this Chrysler Crossfire from a dealer in Essex on behalf of the importer in New Zealand.

The car was driven up our purpose built loading ramp into a 40' container and then blocked and secured to prevent movement during the six week sea voyage to New Zealand.

The Triumph Bonneville motorbike above was delivered into our Gravesend, Kent warehouse where we constructed a purpose built pallet for it before loading and securing in the container.

Wavecrest Ltd has many year's experience of shipping motorbikes of all shapes and sizes, not only to New Zealand but also other countries including South Africa, Australia, Canada and the USA.

 

This, and two other large crates contained bus windscreens. We regularly ship buses and minibuses to New Zealand.
