Methods of shipping
There are different ways of shipping and the quickest method is air shipping. However, as it is most expensive method of shipping, it is not commonly used. However, RORO is the most affordable while Container shipping offers an extra layer of security to your vehicle and other goods.
RORO or Roll-on/Roll-Off is the most popular way of freight shipping and an affordable option. The car will be secured on the deck and you only have to pay for the parking slot. However, you cannot keep any personal items in the car and have to remove the air conditioning gas before it is allowed on board. In container shipping, your car along with other personal goods is sealed within the container. The size of containers is 20 feet or 40 feet and secures your vehicle and personal belongings with ease.
