What is the Difference between International and Domestic Boat Shipping?

There is a big difference between international and domestic services. It’s good to know this as a person interested in boat services. Not every company offers both international and domestic services.

International services include hauling to another country. When moving out from the U.S. the boat is usually transported by a freight ship overseas. You’ll have several methods to choose from including LO/LO, RO/RO, flat rack, containerized, and submersion. A1’s customer service representatives will help you decide if you need assistance.

Some options may not be open to you due to the boat’s size or other details. Along with the difference in methods between international and domestic, moving includes compliance with foreign import laws.

Domestic delivery is the act of hauling within the same nation. In the U.S., this could be state to state or city to city. Hauling domestically means that you’ll likely use ground methods. There are not as many options in this case. Depending on the size of your boat, it may be secured to the top of a trailer or inside a large container.
