Cars, trucks, buses, tractors and wheeled machinery driven on and off the vessel. No container, less handling, lower cost for cargo that rolls.
01
Roll-on/roll-off
RORO vessels carry wheeled cargo on internal decks. Your vehicle or machine is driven aboard at the port of loading and driven off at destination, with no crane lift and no container. That means less handling and lower costs.
We book the space, prepare the documents and clear the cargo at the Egyptian port, so one team follows the unit from booking to delivery.
02
Standard scope
Space on the sailing booked for imports into Egypt and exports from it.
Vehicle details and shipping documents prepared before the sailing, including ACI for imports.
Wheeled cargo cleared at the Egyptian port, so the unit can leave the port without waiting on paperwork.
Driven to you, or carried on a low-bed truck when the unit should not travel on its own wheels.
High-and-heavy and towed units on request. Send the dimensions and we confirm what the vessel can take.
