Vehicle shipping can be done mainly in two ways: RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) transport and container transport. Each method has its own advantages and specific characteristics. Here is a detailed explanation of these two methods and how Transautomobile can assist you in these processes.
1. Definition:
RoRo transport is a method where vehicles roll directly onto the ship at the port of departure and roll off the ship at the port of arrival. RoRo ships are specially designed to transport vehicles on internal decks and ramps.
2. Advantages:
Simplicity and efficiency: Loading and unloading are quick, reducing transit time.
Cost: Generally more economical for rolling vehicles compared to container transport.
Safety: Less handling of vehicles, reducing the risk of damage.
3. Disadvantages:
Destination limits: RoRo services are not available at all ports.
Exposure: Vehicles are more exposed to the elements and variable weather conditions.
1. Definition:
Container transport involves loading vehicles into standard 20-foot or 40-foot metal containers. The containers are then loaded onto container ships.
2. Advantages:
Protection: Vehicles are protected from the elements, weather conditions, and theft.
Flexibility: Suitable for non-rolling vehicles or those requiring extra protection.
Destination: Containers can be shipped to almost any port in the world.
3. Disadvantages:
Cost: Generally more expensive due to containerization fees.
Complexity: The loading and unloading process is longer and requires more careful handling.
