RoRo moves suitable vehicles onto a specialist vessel using ramps. Container shipping secures the vehicle inside a steel container. Both methods require careful planning.
Start with condition. Tell the team whether the vehicle starts, steers, brakes, and has any leaks. A non-running vehicle may need specialist handling, and acceptance depends on the carrier.
Next, consider protection and cargo. A container can be suitable for a high-value vehicle or declared spare parts when permitted. RoRo services have their own rules on vehicle contents.
Finally, check the route. The destination port and available sailings can decide which method is practical. Ask for an itemized comparison that includes pickup, handling, documentation, ocean freight, and destination costs.
