Types of shipping.

In order to determine which shipping method is best, you need to know the difference in the two. The Roll On/ Roll Off shipping method or RO-RO is the most affordable way to ship your vehicle.

Roll On/ Roll Off shipping uses the vehicle's engine to start it up and drive it onto the deck of the ship where it is placed inside the parking bay and harnessed down for the trip. While the vehicle is secured, it is also exposed to the elements of weather.

Container shipping is another option.
