We are a specialized logistics and shipping company offering reliable, professional Roll On / Roll Off shipping services. We provide personalized RORO shipping solutions to safely get your car, boat, truck, tractor, motor home, and heavy machinery to Mexico.
"Roll-On/Roll-Off" refers to a combination of ground and sea transport, where vehicles or cargo are driven on and off a ferry ship. It is a time-tested method with origins dating back as early as 1833.
RORO ships are large ocean-going vessels, specifically designed to carry cargo on wheels, such as personal vehicles, utility vehicles, and heavy equipment. The cargo is rolled on and off the RORO vessel on their own power or using a platform vehicle, such as a modular transporter. This is in contrast to Lift-On/Lift-Off (LO/LO) vessels, which use a crane to load and unload cargo.
RORO vessels have either built-in or shore-based ramps that allow the cargo to be rolled on and off the ship. The ramps and doors may be located in stern, bow or sides, or any combination thereof.
We offer RORO shipping services to Mexico from the major ports in the USA and Canada. Including Baltimore, Brunswick, Charleston, Houston, Jacksonville, Newark (New York), Norfolk, Galveston, Los Angeles, San Diego, Tacoma, and Halifax.
The Mexican ports of LAZARO CARDENAS, VERACRUZ, MANZANILLO, and ALTAMIRA are the perfect receiving points to unload vehicles and heavy cargo, as they are all equipped to receive RORO vessels, with facilities such as bunkers, dry dock, towage, and ramps.
The Port of Lázaro Cárdenas especially has a strong reputation for heavy-duty shipments by RORO, as it recently opened a specialized $51 million roll-on/roll-off terminal, handling between 450,000 and 480,000 vehicles per year.
Sailing times are between 6 and 21 days, depending on the departure port selected.
