RO-RO Shipping
Roll-on Roll-off car ferry services are offered at many destinations. Car carriers, specifically built for this purpose, are used to transport vehicles safely overseas across the globe. Through this shipment method, cars are protected from the elements in sealed car decks in which they are secured to the deck. RO-RO shipping is an abbreviation for the term Roll-on Roll-off—when cargo is driven on and then off of the vessel. RO-RO shipping can be used to transport tractors, cars, buses, truck or oversized cargo overseas by loading them onto lowboy, flatbed trailers and shipping them by sea.
Why ship using RO-RO?
RO-RO is a wonderful mode of shipping for several different circumstances. If you are making a shipment other than household goods, they may not fit into a container—items such as large vehicles, boats, machinery, etc. RO-RO offers a great amount of flexibility when you are shipping items of a large size overseas during your international relocation. Equally as important, RO-RO is extremely cost effective. Often times, vehicles will fit inside a container, however, relocating them via using RO-RO is far less expensive.
Car Shipping with an Exclusive Container
You may also choose to ship your vehicle in an exclusive container or a shared container which consolidates the total load and tends to be more cost-effective. NY International Shipping can either pick your vehicle up from your residence or you can bring it to our warehouse yourself, whichever is more convenient for you. Once we have received or picked up your vehicle, our professionally trained international relocation staff will gently load your vehicle into the container, bracing and lashing it insice, in which it will be shipped overseas. It is then carefully secured into position so that it will remain protected and will not shift while being transported. Once secured, NY International Shipping will then carefully transport the container holding your vehicle to the port of departure. The container will go through customs prior to being loaded onto the vessel on which it will make its overseas journey. NY International Shipping is there from beginning to end—seeing your vehicle through customs and ensuring that it will make it safely onto the shipping vessel and to its overseas destination.
NY International Shipping typically calculates the price for shipping your vehicle overseas based on the size of your vehicle—which will be categorized as a small, medium or large vehicle.
