Exporting Methods to Select From
There are several forms of shipping that a person can take advantage of. However, two of them are more reliable and cheaper than the others. Air shipping is only best for landlocked countries and is so expensive that not many can afford it.
The RO/RO shipping method is the least expensive. It requires that the vehicle is able to drive onto the ship as well as off of the ship. The vehicle must be empty with the exception of floor mats, a car jack, and a spare tire. This method isn't permitted by all seaports so make sure that there is one close enough to you that is willing to accept the RO/RO shipping method.
Container shipping is when the vehicle is placed inside a large container aboard a ship. The container and the vehicle can possess other belongings as long as they are accepted by the country's Customs. When choosing the container method of shipment, consider sharing the container with another individual to help ease the costs.
The owner of the vehicle must be present at the time of the arrival of the vehicle at port. A port will not hold a vehicle for the owner so arranging transportation to the port will be necessary.

Explanation of A1’s Overseas Transport Solutions
One part of that process is determining the type of vessel and transport option that aligns best for your needs. The dimensions of your freight play a deciding role in how it’ll be transported. If your item isn’t oversized and not particularly heavy, then shipping via a container might be a good route to go. Albeit more expensive than some of the other options it provides unparalleled protection from the elements and criminal activity. If your cargo is self propelled, then the least expensive shipping option might be best for you. Known as RoRo (Roll On/Roll Off), vehicles roll onto the ship’s ramp, through the hull, and are placed amongst thousands of other operables. Locked into a car deck, this is simplest shipping method we offer.
If your freight is inoperable, oversized and/or on a flat rack then a LoLo (Lift On/Lift Off) vessel would be the most ideal form of transport. With the help of a crane operator, your freight is lifted dockside and placed onto the cargo ship. Sometimes a flat rack is necessary when shipping stacks of materials or oddly shaped items that need special attention to transport. Acting as an open walled shipping container, freight can be attached to a multitude of locations on the rack to ensure secure transport.
