Shipping Options
Shipping a vehicle to Europe involves several methods, each with its own advantages, costs, and considerations.
Full Container Load (FCL) Shipping
FCL offers exclusive use of a shipping container for your vehicle(s), providing maximum control and security.
- Privacy and Security: Your vehicle is the only one in the container, minimizing handling and potential risks.
- Flexibility: You can load personal belongings alongside your vehicle, as long as a detailed inventory is provided.
- Speed: Without the need to wait for other vehicles, FCL can offer faster shipping times.
- Cost:
While offering enhanced benefits, FCL is more expensive than shared options, as you bear the full cost of the container.
Shared Container Shipping
This method involves consolidating multiple vehicles or cargo into a single shipping container. While it may take longer to fill the container before shipment, it offers several benefits:
- Cost Sharing: Sharing a container reduces individual shipping costs, making it a budget-friendly option.
- Security: Vehicles are loaded into a sealed container, providing protection from external elements and reducing the risk of damage.
- Flexibility:
You can include personal items inside the vehicle or the container, provided a detailed packing list is supplied.
Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) Shipping
RoRo is a popular and cost-effective method for shipping vehicles internationally. In this process, vehicles are driven onto specialized ships at the port of departure and driven off at the destination. Key points include:
- Cost: RoRo shipping is a cost-effective option compared to container shipping. However, since vehicles are not enclosed in a container, they are more exposed to external elements and potential risks during transit.
- Vehicle Requirements: Vehicles must be operational to be driven on and off the vessel. Non-running vehicles may incur additional fees or may not be accepted.
- Security: Since vehicles are exposed during transit, it's recommended not to leave personal belongings inside, as access is not restricted.
- Availability: RoRo services are widely available for major European ports, offering regular and reliable schedules.
