Our Shipping Services

RORO

Roll-on/Roll-off

The RORO shipping method is usually the most comfortable and cheapest way to ship a car, a truck, a boat, or heavy machinery overseas. Your vehicle is driven on to the RoRo ship at the port of departure ('Rolled on') and driven off the RoRo ship when she arrives at the destination port ('Rolled off'). Our service contracts with Ro-Ro carriers allow us to offer Ro-Ro shipping at highly competitive rates.

FCL Container

Full Container Load

Use our full container method if you are shipping multiple cars or if you're shipping an exotic car. FCL is an ocean freight service where international shippers have exclusive use of an entire freight container. These are typically either 20 or 40 feet. Please contact us if you are interested in a FCL to check available ports.

Additional Resources

Marine Insurance

We always recommend Marine Insurance when quoting our clients. International shipping risks are very unlikely, but can happen due to natural disasters or other unfortunate situations. Marine Insurance protects you from losing money in any event.

Roll On – Roll Off

Use RoRo car shipping method if you are shipping one car. Once the car is aboard the ship, it is blocked and braced to the ship's deck. The only items permitted inside the vehicle are the spare tire along with the jack. If any personal items are in the unit, the port will reject the unit from being delivered.
