Roll on/Roll car shipping also known as Ro-Ro is a safe & reliable way of shipping any rolling cargo such as; Cars, Trucks, Caravans, etc., and plant machinery overseas by sea. Roll-on-Roll-off can work out to be the cheapest option when shipping a vehicle abroad due to its ease of loading and unloading. However, this may not always be case and other options for shipment would need to be considered.

How do WE ship vehicles by RORO?

All vehicles are either driven or towed on to the vessel via a ramp by fully qualified vehicle handlers. They are professionally trained drivers that will ensure that vehicles are driven safely on and off the vessel at each end. Once the vehicles are onboard the vessel, they will be strapped to various lashing points, usually 2 at the back and 1 on the front of the vehicle.

These straps are checked throughout the voyage by professional cargo handlers onboard and are tightened up throughout its voyage if required. This will then ensure a safe delivery without damage in to the overseas port. Most vehicle manufacturers opt for the option of roll on/roll off due how easy it is and is less time consuming than loading there vehicles in to containers. The cost of roll on/roll off car shipping is by far one of the cheapest ways of shipping a vehicle overseas.
