Auto Transportation Methods to Malaysia

There are two methods of shipping when going to Malaysia are Roll on/Roll Off shipping and container shipping.

• Roll On/ Roll Off, also known as RORO is the most common method of transport because it is simple and is more affordable. Vehicles that choose this method are driven onto the deck of the carrier ship where it is parked in a bay and harnessed for the trip. Once your vehicle reaches the port in Malaysia, it is started and driven off of the deck of the ship and turned over to customs to clear before you are allowed to pick it up.
• Container shipping is another option however this is the most expensive method of shipping. With this method, your vehicle will be parked inside of a container measuring either 20 foot or 40 foot in size. This container is large enough for your vehicle and any personal items you would like to send over to Malaysia with you. Or if you prefer to lower your cost while protecting your vehicle during the trip, you can share the container with someone else heading in that same direction.
