RoRo Shipping

The most economical way to ship you vehicle internationally

RoRo, or Roll-on Roll-off, is an economical way to ship any wheeled vehicle. The vehicle is driven onto the ship and secured safely under the deck, protected from the weather. When it reaches it's destination, the vehicle is then driven off of the ship.

RoRo is not just for cars and trucks. Large wheeled vehicles, including trailers, excavators, cranes, and other machinery can all be shipped RoRo. Smaller vehicles without wheels, including boats and jet-skis, can sometimes be placed on a trailer and shipped RoRo for less money than containerization.
