Shipping vehicles internationally via RO-RO (Roll-On/Roll-Off) or LI-LO (Lift-On/Lift-Off) requires knowledge of conditions and requirements set by carriers. Adhering to these guidelines helps ensure a seamless shipping experience. Here�s a breakdown of essential terms and charges.
RO-RO and LI-LO rates are based on full liner terms, including load port Terminal Handling Charges (THC). These charges are fundamental to the total cost, so make sure to account for them in your budget.
Rates are typically valid for 30 days but may change without notice. Secure your rate by completing a booking through our RORO Booking Portal. Space and pricing confirmation will follow via email.
For non-operational vehicles, an additional handling fee of $125 applies. This covers special handling requirements for vehicles that cannot drive onto the vessel independently.
Non-self-propelled vehicles must have a tow bar to facilitate safe and efficient loading.
The standard tariff includes drivable passenger vehicles, light-duty trucks, and vans under 8,600 lbs and 94 inches in height. Oversized or high-weight cargo incurs additional charges.
Heavier or oversized items destined for transshipment ports may incur arbitrary charges. These will be confirmed via email at booking.
Standard rates exclude extra port charges, such as for loading, unloading, or securing cargo. These fees are confirmed post-booking.
Insurance is optional but recommended. Visit our Insurance Page for more details.
To export a vehicle or machinery, certain documentation is required for customs and rate confirmation:
Title/Bill of Sale: Email scans of both sides to [email protected].
Picture I.D. and Passport: Include a copy of your photo I.D. and passport.
Original Title and Power of Attorney: Courier original documents to the specified address upon instruction.
Export Power of Attorney Form: Complete and submit the Export Power of Attorney Form.
After booking, you�ll receive a confirmation number and invoice within 24 to 72 hours. A dock appointment and sail date follow rate confirmation. Full payment is required before delivery to the port.
Vehicles undergo U.S. Customs inspection at the port at least 5 days before loading. Ensure all payments and documentation are complete to avoid delays.
