What Is RoRo Shipping?
RoRo shipping ports in USA refers to roll-on and the roll-off. This method of shipping involves transporting cars that move in the vessel’s cargo hold. However, this type of ocean freight isn’t quite as secure as containerized shipping since your vehicle could be exposed to weather conditions. We’ve gone over the basics in the past on our website, but read this post to learn more.

RoRo Prices
Ameritrans Freightkeeps up-to-date. Be aware that roro shipping from usa to nigeria services are typically more expensive than the tried and true container shipping. This is due to the need to ship cars direct to the port’s facilities instead of an adjacent storage facility and also for the booking process to be processed faster. Since every vehicle delivered via RoRo needs a specific estimate pricing can differ.
RoRo prices may increase due to global economic conditions and the global congestion at ports and the price of fuel can cause unexpected increases. We expect another small increase in April. So keep an eye out for future announcements.
