Ways of freight shipping.

Though air shipping is the fastest method of shipping to Gambia but it is very expensive and that is why it is rarely used. Other common methods include:

• RORO: It is also termed as Roll-On/Roll-Off as the vehicle is driven on and off the ship using its own wheels. This is the cheapest method of shipment and is perfect when you just need to transport your vehicle. There are some limitations such as disabling alarms, removing air conditioning gas and other personal items before the vehicle can be shipped under this method.
• Container shipping: This entails securing your vehicle within 20 feet or larger 40 feet shipping containers. Your household or personal goods are allowed within the container which makes it easy to ship everything together. This is more expensive than RORO but safer.
