Can I ship a non-running car via RORO?
RORO requires vehicles to be driveable so they can be loaded onto the vessel. For non-running vehicles, we recommend container shipping with forklift loading.
RORO Car Shipping from the UK
Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO) shipping is the industry standard for international vehicle transport. Your car is driven directly onto a specialist cargo vessel, secured in position using wheel-lashings, and transported safely to your destination port.
Frequently asked questions
Is my car exposed to weather on a RORO ship?
No. Modern RORO vessels have enclosed car decks that protect vehicles from weather, salt spray, and sea conditions. Your car is stored below deck.
Can I put personal items in my car for RORO shipping?
Most shipping lines prohibit personal items in RORO vehicles. If you need to ship personal effects, container shipping is the better option.
How is my car secured on the RORO ship?
Vehicles are secured using professional wheel-lashing straps attached to the deck. This is the same system used by car manufacturers for new vehicle transport.
