Mode of Hauling

Shifting is done in either Roll on/Roll off ships or containers. Ro-Ro ships are unique vessels fitted with ramps that allow cars to simply roll onto the ship or off the haul when loading and offloading, respectively. They closely resemble the design of enormous parking platforms. Because one Ro-Ro vessel can carry many cars and is simple to load, Ro-Ro is cheaper than container relocation. The Ro-Ro vessel is suitable for transporting any self-propelled motor vehicle, e.g., trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, ATVs, and average-sized cars.

What container hauling lacks in cost-effectiveness, it more than makes up for in safety. It is not only water and wind-tight, but it also ensures maximum immobility while in transit. This is achieved by bracing the car's wheels with wooden or metal blocks and securing the car's body into position by lashing it with nylon straps or steel chains to four securing hooks on the container. This method reigns supreme when transporting high-value automobiles that demand added protection.

• The fuel tank should be not more than half a tank and not below one quarter as well.
• All battery terminals have to be disconnected.
