The Port of Mobile is owned and run by the Alabama State Port Authority. Over the recent years, the port has seen major renovations thanks to the Alabama State Port Authority.

1. Break bulk cargo: The vehicles are lifted on board the cargo ship and secured in place by use of lashings.
2. Containerized cargo: We ship cars inside hard-sided cargo containers that protect the cars being shipped to or from the Port of Mobile from external travel conditions and weather.
3. Heavy Lift cargo: Extra heavy vehicles like Buses and high tonnage trucks are driven just next to the shipping vessel, from where heavy cranes lift and place them upon the vessel for transportation.
4. Roll-on/roll-off: The cars are driven into the cargo ship and secured onto the vessel using tie downs. The cars can be shipped as it is (open air) or covered with a canvas or vinyl that offers a considerable amount of protection against wind, rain or small rocks. Upon arrival, the canvas is removed and the car is simply driven off the ship.
