🇯🇵 ➜ 🇦🇼 How We Ship Your Car

1️⃣ It starts in Asia

When you reserve a vehicle with Be Forward Aruba, it begins at an export yard in Japan, South Korea, or Singapore. Even European makes are often already in Asia and prepared there.

• Final inspection & cleaning
• Export documentation and clearance
• Booking on the next RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) vessel bound for the Caribbean

2️⃣ The ships that make it happen

Your car isn’t packed in a container — it’s driven onto a RoRo ship just like brand-new factory cars. Be Forward works with these world-class carriers:

• Hoegh Autoliners — Japan → Panama → 🇯🇲 Kingston (transshipment) → 🇦🇼 Aruba.
• Yuwa Shipping Co. Ltd. — Dedicated Japan → Caribbean sailings, often used when Hoegh is full.
• Eukor Car Carriers — Handles Korea/Singapore routes, sometimes sharing loads with Hoegh.
• NYK Line — One of Japan’s largest shipping groups, used for special freight and overflow.
• K Line (Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha) — Operates select RoRo routes serving the Caribbean.

All five use enclosed decks — your car is driven on and off, secured and insured throughout the voyage.

3️⃣ Can I choose which ship my car goes on?

No. Ship assignment is handled automatically by Be Forward Japan’s logistics partners. Each vehicle is placed on the first safe and available sailing according to:

• Origin port (Nagoya, Yokohama, Busan, Singapore etc.)
• Destination loop (Aruba / Curaçao / Caribbean)
• Deck space and vehicle type
• Departure timing and paperwork

The process isn’t random — it’s optimized for the fastest departure and reliable delivery. Once confirmed, your client dashboard shows vessel name, voyage number, and ETA (Aruba time).

4️⃣ The ocean journey (typical timelines)

• Japan → Aruba: ≈ 60 – 90 days (often with Kingston transshipment via Hoegh)
• Korea / Singapore → Aruba: ≈ 90 – 120 days (depending on rotation)

During this time, your portal’s Track My Car tab shows live ETA updates from Hoegh/Eukor feeds and any transshipment notes.

5️⃣ Arrival in Aruba

Once the vessel docks at Port of Oranjestad, your car is unloaded and entered into C.A.P. (Car Arrival Progress). From there, your portal shows:

• 🧭 Real-time C.A.P. status
• 📦 DHL document tracking
• ✅ “Ready for Pickup” after final checks

6️⃣ Example timeline

Day 1–3 — Order confirmed & inspected for export.
Day 5–10 — Booked on Hoegh vessel.
Day 11–70 — Japan → Panama → Kingston (transship) → Aruba.
Day 70–90 — Cleared and ready for pickup.

7️⃣ Notes & Caveats

• ETAs are estimates — weather or Kingston delays may affect arrival.
• Transshipment in Jamaica is normal and fully insured.
• C.A.P. is the official Aruba arrival tracker.
• Only trusted RoRo lines are used — Hoegh, Yuwa, Eukor, NYK Line, K Line.

8️⃣ In short

From Asia’s export yards to Aruba’s sunshine, your car travels half the world aboard certified RoRo ships. You can’t choose the ship — but you’ll always know which one it’s on and when it arrives, thanks to Be Forward Aruba’s C.A.P. system.
