Automobile and vehicle shipping

Many new buyers do not know how to ship when they buy a car from otherside of the world. When it comes to automobile shipping, you have two main options. You can ship your vehicle in a container or ship via Roll On Roll Off (RORO) plus Bulk vessel. But which option is better? First you should check what option is good for you. Actually it depends on your country has sea port or it is inland country. Introduce you these three types of vessel. 
Container vessel shipping

If you auto trader or dealer, recommend you Container shipping. It is cheaper way to ship many units of cars. And also inland countries have to ship vehicles by container so that they can track it to their country. Shoring work and container trucking work needed.

RoRo vessel shipping  


RORO is the simplest and cheapest method of shipping for vehicles.
Vehicles are driven directly onto the RORO vessel and secured to the car decks. They are securely inside the vessel, wind-and-watertight.
It is important to note that you cannot ship personal effects using this method, but spare tire and factory fitted accessories are allowed.
RORO overseas shipping is a very popular way of transporting cargo to other countries. The idea was created and developed by the Japanese car manufacturers to ship their cars to USA and Europe in a fast and efficient manner by using specialized ships called “vehicle carriers”.
Nowadays RORO carriers can handle not just cars but all types of motorized, rolling and even static cargo: trucks, boats, buses, motor homes, travel trailers, tractors, excavators, cranes, and other high & heavy equipment and machinery.
International RORO shipping is popular with exporters and importers mainly for 2 reasons: cost and efficiency.
The cargo is simply “rolled on” the vessel at the port of loading and “rolled off” the vessel at the overseas destination. Everything is handled by the port workers. There’s no need to hire and pay export warehouse for crating, container packing, flat rack loading, port delivery, etc. This really helps in keeping the cost of international shipping down..
The only problem with RORO shipping is geographical coverage. While RORO transportation does have global routes, it is still not as all-encompassing as container shipping. Some smaller countries may not even have any options for international RORO transport.
However, container shipping can get you pretty much anywhere you want to go.
