Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) shipping is one of the most commonly used and cost-effective methods for shipping operable vehicles to Africa. Vehicles are driven directly onto the vessel at the departure port and secured for international ocean transport. RoRo shipping is commonly used for:

Vehicles are securely loaded into shipping containers to reduce exposure during international transport and port handling. Common Uses for Container Shipping:

  • Luxury and exotic vehicles
  • Non-running vehicles
  • Salvage vehicles
  • Vehicles shipped with household goods
