Shipping Methods

The majority of the people who decide to ship their cars to the country of Norway are going to choose one out of two shipping options and they are:

• RORO: this method requires your car to be driven on a special shipping deck which is then placed on a freight ship where the vehicle is secured and transported. It’s cheap and quick but your car is exposed to the elements throughout the entire time.
• Container shipping: this method requires you to place your vehicle inside a sealed container which is going to provide an additional layer of protection. You can also ship as many belongings as you can fit in it as well. That’s why it’s slower and more expensive.
