Shipping methods to Limassol.

Though air shipping is the quickest way to transport your vehicle, it is not a preferred method as the costs are prohibitive. That is why Container shipping and Roll-on/Roll-Off (RORO) is the most common ways of shipping overseas.

In RORO, your vehicle is rolled on the ship deck at the U.S port and then driven off at the last port of destination. It has to be shipped empty and has to adhere to the various restrictions of limited fuel in the tank, no air conditioning gas or personal items are allowed. However, in container shipping, there are no restrictions but you need to empty out the fuel tank and air conditioning gas to prevent any fire hazard.
