Crate or RORO - Click HERE for Original Thread

P_D
I'm just wondering what would be the fastest way to get a car here with the current delays?

Containers leave every week, so the worst case scenario is by far better than RORO. They both take similar amounts of time to cross the ocean, so the best cases for each are the same. Container shipping is just more predictable because you know that the car will be leaving almost right away, with RORO it could take months to get a spot.

Roll On, Roll Off, Its the easiest, cheapest way to ship cars over the ocean.

We estimate that container shipping is $400-700 more expensive per car than RORO. Because we use different exporters and each exporter has varying container expenses, we prefer to quote the cost of container shipping on an individual basis.

with container shipping, is the entire container dedicated to the vehicle or will there be other items in the container with the car?

There will be other cars in the container, and for many reasons, there will be no loose parts inside the containers.
