Container vs RoRo

Which Shipping Method Is Right for You?

Container Shipping

Vehicles are loaded into a sealed 20ft or 40ft container — the most secure option, ideal for higher-value units or when shipping multiple vehicles together to split cost.

RoRo Shipping

Roll-on/roll-off vessels drive the vehicle directly aboard — typically faster to book and lower cost per unit, best suited to routes with regular RoRo service.
