BRP Can-Am powersports vehicles: Pennsylvania to Rotterdam
A BRP Can-Am shipment including a Defender side-by-side, Outlander ATVs and a Spyder roadster was collected from a dealer in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, and delivered to a showroom in Rotterdam. We coordinated collection, delivery to the terminal, container loading and securing, the ocean leg, receiving and unloading, customs declaration submission and final road delivery. The completed door-to-door route took 39 days.

Route in detail
How the project was handled
Collection in Pennsylvania
We collected the BRP Can-Am vehicles from a dealer in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, and coordinated their road move to the export terminal.
Container loading and securing
The equipment was loaded inside the container using a tailored placement plan, timber supports and separate restraints for the individual units.
Ocean freight to Rotterdam
After terminal acceptance, the container moved by sea to Rotterdam as the main international leg of the route.
Receiving, unloading and declaration
In Rotterdam, we coordinated receipt of the container, unloading of the equipment and submission of the customs declaration.
Showroom delivery
After terminal operations, the BRP Can-Am vehicles continued by road to the showroom in the Netherlands.
