The Shipping Methods Available
There are two common forms of vehicle shipment. Most people choose between RO/RO shipping and container shipping. Air shipping is an option but it is typically too expensive for anyone to take advantage of. So, what is the difference between RO/RO and container shipping?
RO/RO shipping is simple and it is the cheapest. The vehicle must be free of anything other than floor mats, a car jack, and a spare tire. It is then rolled on to the ship as well as off of the ship.
Container shipping is when the vehicle is placed inside a very large container. The vehicle may be filled with belongings approved by Philippines Customs, as well as the remaining container space.
