Roll-on, Roll-off (RORO) Ships:
RORO ships are dedicated to transporting wheeled cargo, including cars. They feature built-in ramps that allow vehicles to drive directly onto and off the ship. This method is cost-effective for large volumes of cars, typically managed by major car manufacturers or shipping companies.
Container Ships:
Cars can be transported within shipping containers, which provide protection from the elements and can be easily stacked. This is a common option for shipping smaller quantities of cars or those requiring additional security.
Flat Rack Ships:
Flat rack ships have open, flat surfaces that accommodate oversized or special cargo, including cars. Vehicles can be secured on these racks using tiedowns and straps. Flat rack shipping is often used when only a few cars need to be shipped and requires additional protection or flexibility in loading.
The choice of shipping method depends on the number of vehicles, distance, cost considerations, and specific shipping requirements. Factors like customs regulations and destination infrastructure also influence the selection of the appropriate shipping method for overseas car transportation.
