In RORO shipping the vehicle is driven on the ship deck, secured in the allocated parking bay and is driven off the ship when it reaches the port in Sudan. This is the cheapest option available. But you need to consider the limitations that include:

• steam cleaning the car before shipping it out.
• removing air conditioning gas.
• leaving just a little fuel in the tank.
• disable all alarms.
• Vehicle has to be in an operable state.

The other option is container shipping where you need to hire spacious containers to pack your vehicle and are allowed to ship your personal items alongside. Usually, these containers measure twenty feet in length or forty feet, giving you ample space to share with someone else or just to pack your own vehicle and household goods that need to be moved to Omdurman.
