Roll-on-roll-off shipping: (RORO)
Roll-on-roll-off shipping or RORO as it is more commonly known is the most popular & cost effective method of shipment for vehicles which is adopted by all the new car manufacturers. This method of shipment offers a cost effective solution of moving your vehicle to your intended destination. Your vehicle will be received at the port of exit and driven onto the vessel and stowed under deck in bays during the journey. All vehicles must be in good working order for shipment in this way.
Container shipment
For those who prefer to ship their vehicles in a container, we can offer a service to receive your vehicle at one of many depots across the UK, it will then be professionally lashed and secured into its own steel shipping container. A security seal is then placed on the doors which cannot be opened until it reaches its destination country unless the customs authorities feel the need to inspect it. One of the main advantages of shipping your vehicle other than the obvious extra protection the container offers is that you are able to load any items of personal effects into the vehicle. We can also offer a service to receive additional cartons at our depot and load them alongside the vehicle for a small additional handling fee.
