Bosnia and Herzegovina is almost a landlocked country – to the south, it has a very narrow coast on the Adriatic Sea, bordered by Serbia to the east, Montenegro to the southeast, and Croatia surrounding the north and southwest. Sarajevo is the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, situated in a valley along the Miljacka River. Sarajevo has a rich and diverse history, shaped by its position as a cultural crossroads between the East and West.
Although Bosnia and Herzegovina seems landlocked, it has a small coastline on the Adriatic Sea, about 20 kilometers (12 miles) long, with Neum being the only maritime port in Bosnia. Future plans include developing the port of Neum into a shipping port equipped with modern facilities, direct railway lines, and a network of roads to Croatia and other areas in Central Europe. Additionally, Bosnia and Herzegovina has numerous commercial river ports on the Sava River, which play a significant role in trade and transport.
There are many ways to ship cars to Bosnia and Herzegovina, but you need to determine the appropriate entry point from neighboring countries. This will, in most cases, increase the overall cost of shipping the car since Bosnia and Herzegovina is landlocked. Road carriers will be used to transport the car from the entry port to the final destination in Bosnia and Herzegovina. These carriers are equipped with special security features to ensure the vehicles are well-secured to minimize unnecessary movements that could lead to damage. We mainly use the sea ports in Montenegro and Croatia as entry points to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Methods of Shipping Cars from Dubai to Bosnia and Herzegovina:
There are various ways to ship cars to Bosnia and Herzegovina, including sea shipping and air shipping, depending on the client’s preferences regarding time frame and financial capabilities.
Sea Shipping of Cars from Dubai to Bosnia and Herzegovina:
Container Shipping: We use containers as a means of shipping your car. You can either choose to use dedicated containers or shared containers.
- Dedicated Containers: These are 20-foot containers used to ship one car. They are more expensive than shared containers as the container is reserved for one client, but they allow the client to ship personal belongings or items with the car inside the container.
- Shared Containers: These are 40-foot containers in which several cars can be shipped together. This method reduces the cost as multiple clients share the container.
Air Shipping of Cars from Dubai to Bosnia and Herzegovina:
Air shipping is the fastest way to ship cars from Dubai to Bosnia and Herzegovina, but it is also the most expensive compared to sea shipping. However, it saves time and is better for preserving the condition of the cars. It is preferred by many who want to ship expensive cars or those who want to ship their cars in a short time. Additionally, it is safer than sea shipping as the cars are insured against risks at the highest level.
