Shipping Methods

RO/RO and container shipping are the most common ways to ship a vehicle. Now, not all ports accept RO/RO but this is generally the most commonly used one as it’s cheaper and quicker. You have to drive the car on a shipping deck on its wheels. You need to keep it perfectly clean and empty it out of all sorts of possessions. Your vehicle will reach the closest port to Burma which is Kolkata in India and then driven across using land based multi-carriers.

The other method is container shipping. It will also reach Kolkata port. However, the difference is that you have the option of selecting 20 feet or 40 feet containers. Containers can be shared with another individual in order to split the costs. Your personal possessions and car can be packed within the same container, but if you compare cost of just shipping a vehicle, RORO is cheaper.
