RoRo shipping is the most popular option overall. RoRo is also the cheapest but your heavy equipment or large vehicle must have the ability to drive onto and off of the boat using a ramp. LoLo shipping is for inoperable vehicles, construction materials and crated equipment that need to be lifted onto the ship. As for flat rack shipping, it is a more secure open air service that fastens your equipment to a metal frame for transport. Container transport is
an enclosed service that is only offered to persons with heavy equipment small enough to fit into a 40ft container.
