Primary Shipping Methods
RORO (Roll-on / Roll-off)
Vehicles are driven directly onto the ship and secured below deck. This is the most common, fastest, and most cost-effective method for shipping drivable vehicles.
- Most economical choice
- Faster loading and unloading
- Cannot ship personal items or spare parts inside
Container Shipping
Vehicles are securely lashed inside a 20ft or 40ft steel shipping container. Ideal for high-value vehicles, damaged cars, or bulk purchases.
- Maximum security and weather protection
- Allowed to ship spare parts inside the vehicle
- Best for multi-car dealership orders

Global Shipping Update (April 2026)
Due to the current regional conflict affecting major shipping lanes, all shipments bound for the Caribbean and African regions will be temporarily routed through Jeddah Port. This detour adds approximately 7-10 days to standard transit times and results in a slight increase in CNF freight charges. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
