Two Australian families brought their cars to Vladivostok. Now they are heading from Yakutsk to Magadan. In weeks, they hope to traverse Mongolia. It was Jon (the 1st from the right), who gave me Yuri Melnikov s contact. The latter helped them with dealing custom clearance and cargo company in Vladivostok.
Travellers, who prefer to move across Russia’s Siberia and Far East on their own vehicles (motorcycles or off-road cars), tend to ask me this question often.
Indeed, if they ship their transport to Vladivostok by sea, they would need a person, who will help them to deal with custom clearance service, a sea port’s clerks, cargo companies, and do the seem-to-be-complicated paper work and etc, etc, etc.

Rejoyce, everyone, who wishes to try the Road of Bones to/from Magadan. Magadan is not the deadend. It is, actually, one of your enroute waypoints.
The only thing you need to know is how to ship your vehicle from/to Magadan by sea. The second thing to remember is that a Turkish driver Ali Eric (www.istanbul2instanbul.com) is really a good fellow. He sent me the precious information on the shipment from Magadan to Valadivostok (or vice-versa) and from Vlad to anywhere in North America.
Further, please, find the info about the shipping company, that helped Ali Eric and two UK moto adventurers Walter & Tony (www.SibirskyExtreme.com) to deliver their 4wd and motorcycles from Magadan to Vladivostok by sea. Read more…
