RoRo Shipping for Trucks and Vehicles
The most common way to ship trucks and vehicles internationally is RoRo shipping (Roll-on Roll-off).
Vehicles are driven directly onto specialised RoRo vessels using ramps and secured inside the ship.
RoRo shipping is ideal for:
trucks
buses
tractors
vans
cars
wheeled machinery
Advantages of RoRo shipping:
Lower cost compared to container shipping
Faster loading and unloading
No need for container handling
Ideal for large vehicles and machinery
For most customers exporting trucks to Africa, RoRo shipping is the preferred solution.
Container Shipping for Vehicles and Parts
Container shipping is used when:
the vehicle is not running
transporting spare parts
shipping engines or pallets
transporting high-value vehicles
Containers can also be used to load spare parts inside vehicles, reducing total shipping cost.
Common container sizes:
20ft container
40ft container
High cube containers
Our team can arrange professional loading and securing of cargo for container shipments.
