Q. Which option is cheaper
and safer: Roll-on Roll-off or Container?
A. There’s no simple answer. In most
cases Roll-on Roll-off shipping service (Ro-Ro) is cheaper but it’s limited only
to a number of ports in US and destination ports, whereas
container shipping service has much wider coverage. Most of the times
your cargo will be shipped using Ro/Ro service due to the
size of the cargo. Small boats, cars, jet-skis, motorcycles and other small machinery can
fit inside the containers. Flat Rack container service is
usually expensive and there's always shortage of the equipment. Both services are safe.
