RORO vs Container — Which Is Better for Your Car in 2026

A frank, lane-by-lane comparison of RORO and container shipping in 2026 — with the decision matrix we use internally to advise customers.

Frequently asked questions

Which is safer?

Both are professionally lashed. Containers add a sealed environment, which matters for paint-sensitive classics. RORO is safer for low vehicles that risk underbody damage when loading into containers.

Can I switch from RORO to container after booking?

Yes, up to 5 working days before the booked sailing. We rebook to the next container sailing and apply the rate difference; no admin fee.
