How to ship a car RO RO to Nigeria


"There are numerous types of RO RO Ships to Nigeria but the ones that we will focus on in this article are the ones that transport motorized vehicles only such as Pure Car carriers (PCCS) or Pure Car Truck Carriers (PCTCs) - Vessel Shipping"


Roll on Roll off  has to be one of the most cost effective and convenient means for Car export  for almost all motor vehicles in the world. So convenient it even earned itself the nickname "Ro Ro" accross continents for Car exports. Roll on Roll off or Ro Ro ships are designed with state of the art ramps (like the one you see in the picture) that allow any cargo on wheels to be driven on and off the ships deck.


Roll on roll off ships are designed to carry on board self-propelled and mechanized cargo to be safely loaded and secured for car export.


Roll on roll off requires all fuel to be emptied out of the car and batteries to be disconnected for Ro Ro safety measures on its voyage.


Roll on Roll off  also requires that the vehicle must run and drive. If the vehicle does not run and drive it cannot classify as Ro Ro   for car export, and it will be rejected from it's port of entry


Roll on Roll off is fast, quick, efficient, & cost effective. When shipping your car Ro Ro, It is far less expensive to clear at it's port of destination unlike Containers.

Roll on Roll off  has many pro's, but it also has many cons. When shipping your car RO RO you are not allowed to add any personal effects. The only thing allowed inside of your RO RO shipment is the spare tire and jack.

Sometimes when shipping your car RO RO parts such as the radio, door panels, & battery can end up stolen when the vessel unloads at another country which many clients have seen on Certain Shipping lines. Which is why we only use the highly rated for customer satisfaction shipping lines for Roll on Roll off.

Roll on Roll off does not allow your vehicle to be shipped in an enclosed manner like containers. Your Ro Ro cargo is driven inside of the vessel, It is then safe and secured to the floor of the vessel with state of the art equipment to prevent it from shifting on its voyage.
