Shipping methods

There are two primary shipping methods that the majority of people tend to prefer due to the comparatively low costs. The first one is the Ro-Ro Shipping and the second one is the Container shipping.

• Ro-Ro Shipping is a method which would require you to drive your vehicle onto a shipping deck in a freight ship. The car is then fastened to the deck and shipped as it is. You are not allowed to carry any kinds of personal belongings. That’s why this is the cheapest and quickest transportation method.
• Container Shipping, on the other hand, would provide you with the chance to ship a car in a privately chosen container of 20ft or 40ft based on your preferences. You can ship other belongings in the container and this is more expensive than the first method because of the container. It’s also slower because there are more checkpoints.
