Shipping Methods.

There are two particularly convenient shipping methods – RORO and Container shipping. The first is going to provide you with cheap and quick water-based transportation but your car is going to be thoroughly exposed to the elements for the entire journey and you can’t ship anything else with it. Container shipping is more convenient if you have a luxury or expensive car because it’s going to be protected in the container and you can ship as many personal items apart from the car as you see fit.
