The Republic of Yemen is a country situated at the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, with Saudi Arabia to its north, Oman to the east, and bordered to the west and south by the waters of the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, and the Arabian Sea. The Gulf of Aden is the body of water where Yemen’s main seagoing port, Aden, does commerce with the rest of the world. The ideal characteristics of the Gulf and the surrounding terrain allow Aden to be considered one of the best natural ports in the world.

When you’re importing your vehicle, it’s essential to choose an international shipper well-versed in the intricacies of shipping cargo to that area of the world, because the requirements tend to be pretty stringent. A company that has often dealt with the port authority there would be a good choice to handle your shipment because the authorities will have built some prior working relationship and some trust.

Basic Decisions

After selecting a shipper with good knowledge of Middle Eastern moving requirements, the following things to decide are how you will get your vehicle to the departure port in the U.S. and how you want your vehicle shipped while in transit.

Your choices on getting the vehicle to port are pretty simple – either you can drive it to the port yourself or have the car picked up by your shipper. If you’re driving the vehicle to port, you’ll have to know ahead of time which ports your shipper has departures from in your area of the U.S.

Having figured all that out, you then need to arrange with your shipper for a shipping method, which involves how your vehicle will be secured onboard the ship for the ocean-going part of the journey. RORO (Roll-on/Roll-off) and container dispatching are the most common methods.

RORO means that your vehicle will be driven on and off the ship through a ramp, and then secured to an upper or lower deck for the trip. Container shipping will have your vehicle placed inside a closed container of either 20-ft or 40-ft in length and anchored securely inside the container.

Because your costs are directly related to the amount of space your vehicle occupies on the ship, RORO is the more cost-effective option. Dispatching your car in a container adds a degree of security, but it also takes up at least 20 feet of precious cargo space on the ship.

Documents Needed For Dispatching A Vehicle

  1. Passport.
  2. Bill of lading.
  3. Certificate of origin.
  4. Certificate of manufacturing (with date)
  5. Work permit.

Exporting Requirements

To export a vehicle from the U.S., you must demonstrate to domestic authorities that you are the legal owner of the car, that you have a valid driver's license, and that there are no liens against the vehicle.

This means you must provide proof of a bill of sale for the car and a title showing no liens or, if there is a lien, a certified document from the lienholder indicating approval for shipment. Your vehicle must have nothing inside it except for one set of keys for driving on and off the ship, and for that, it must have less than ¼ tank of gas.

Your vehicle will have to go through Yemeni Customs at the destination port, which will involve an inspection to see if it meets emission standards. To avoid hang-ups, it will be advisable to have the vehicle in excellent running condition.

Sending Heavy Equipment & Oversized Cargo

Dispatching oversized cargo and heavy equipment to another nation, such as Yemen, isn’t easy to do without anything you need. This may include things such as haulers or the proper shipping materials and equipment. Not to mention, you’ll need to tolerate the import policies of the nation, which isn’t typically easy for anyone without prior understanding and knowledge. Luckily, A1 Auto Transport can help oversee the cargo’s delivery regardless of what it is or where it must go.

Any cargo that cannot fit into a 40ft container is considered as oversized through A1. However, if your cargo fits into a container yet exceeds the standard weight limitations, it may also be considered heavy equipment. Here are a few examples of the heavy and oversized equipment we’re able to have shipped to Yemen and any other nation (lawfully permitting):

  • Tractors, combines & other farm equipment.
  • Backhoes and excavators
  • RVs and motorhomes
  • Industrial equipment
  • Bulldozers, dump trucks and forklifts
  • Hydraulic equipment
  • Oversized engines
  • Pile drivers
  • Cranes
  • Large trucks & heavy vehicles
  • Engineering & agricultural equipment

At A1 AT, we ensure the safe transport of your heavy equipment from the United States to Yemen. Throughout the entire process, you will benefit from our guidance and the ability to monitor your cargo’s whereabouts through satellite tracking services. Your cargo is also protected by partial insurance coverage during its delivery.

Available Options

Depending on the equipment you need to ship and the route that must be taken to carry out the delivery successfully, we have several methods available. Some options offer more security than others, and some are much less expensive than others. Here is what we have to offer our customers...

  • LoLo moving or Lift On/Lift Off- Using a crane, we will safely lift your cargo onto the ship. Once the cargo reaches the port closest to or in Yemen, it will be lifted off the ship similarly. This service applies primarily to non-op vehicles and crated heavy equipment.
  • RoRo Shipping or Roll On/Roll Off- This method is the cheapest option available. With this method, the motorized equipment or operable vehicle is rolled onto and off the ship using a ramp.
  • Container Hauling- This method tends to cost a bit more, yet it isn’t available for all of the heavy equipment. If your heavy cargo fits into the container, you can likely request this method. The walls and ceiling of the container provide the ultimate protection during your cargo’s travels.
  • Flat Rack Shipping- This method uses what appears to be the frame of a container. Lacking walls or a ceiling, your cargo is secured to the frame for its transport. The frame with your cargo secured, is placed atop the ship for its delivery. Depending on the weather, your cargo may be shielded by shrink wrap or plastic sheeting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I ship a car to Yemen from the USA?

Yes, you can ship a car to Yemen from the USA using ocean freight services. Most shipments move through third-country transshipment ports due to limited direct access. The process includes U.S. export clearance, ocean transport, and coordination with destination agents. Vehicles must be clean, operable, and properly documented. Transit feasibility depends on port availability, carrier routing, and regional conditions. Professional international car shipping services help manage compliance and logistics.

What shipping methods are available for Yemen car shipping?

Roll on roll off shipping is the most common method for Yemen-bound vehicles, where cars are driven directly onto the vessel. Container shipping is used for higher-value vehicles or when added protection is required. Air freight is rarely available and cost-prohibitive. Method selection depends on budget, vehicle condition, and port access limitations. Most standard vehicles qualify for roll on roll off ocean transport.

How much does it cost to ship a car to Yemen?

Shipping a car to Yemen typically ranges from $2,500 to $5,500. Costs are influenced by vehicle size, shipping method, U.S. departure port, fuel surcharges, and security routing requirements. Roll on roll off shipping is usually more affordable than container service. Inland transport and destination handling fees also apply. Cost ranges are consistent with factors outlined in the car shipping cost guide.

How long does it take to ship a car to Yemen?

Typical transit time ranges from 30 to 55 days after vessel departure. Timing depends on transshipment schedules, port congestion, customs clearance, and regional security controls. Vehicles often route through Middle Eastern or Mediterranean hubs before final discharge. Door-to-port delivery is more common than door-to-door due to infrastructure limits. These timelines align with standard international car shipping by sea transit expectations.

Is car shipping to Yemen safe and insured?

Yes, vehicles are covered by basic carrier liability during ocean transport, though coverage limits are modest. Due to route risk, port handling exposure, and regional instability, supplemental marine insurance is strongly recommended. Vehicles should be photographed before loading and upon arrival. Using experienced carriers and approved routing reduces risk and improves shipment security.

What documents are required to ship a car to Yemen?

Required documents generally include the original vehicle title, bill of sale, passport copy, export authorization, and shipping invoice. Some shipments require a power of attorney or destination import approval depending on ownership and consignee status. All documents must match exactly to avoid customs delays. Documentation standards follow international export rules, as detailed in the international car shipping documents guide.
