Ways to ship
Pick the right method
We'll recommend a method when we quote, based on what you're sending, how quickly it needs to arrive and your budget.
RoRo
Vehicles and machinery that can be driven onto a roll-on/roll-off ship. For a single vehicle, this is often the cheapest option.

Containers
A full container for your goods only, or a shared (consolidated) container when you have less cargo. Flat racks for oversized equipment.

Air cargo
For parts, documents and anything urgent. It costs more than sea freight but arrives in days, not weeks.
