ROLL-ON/ROLL-OFF (RORO) SHIPPING
-
RORO is the most common and cost-effective method for shipping vehicles to Jamaica.
-
Vehicles are driven onto the ship and secured in a designated parking area within the vessel.
-
It is suitable for all types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, and motorcycles.
-
RORO vessels are specially designed for this purpose, with ramps for easy loading and unloading.
-
The vehicle must be in running condition and should have a minimal amount of fuel and no personal items inside.
CONTAINER SHIPPING
-
Container shipping involves placing your vehicle inside a shipping container for transportation.
-
It provides added security and protection for your vehicle against the elements and potential damage.
-
You can choose from two container sizes: 20-foot or 40-foot containers, depending on the size of your vehicle and your needs.
-
You can also use shared containers if you have a smaller vehicle or want to share the container space with others.
-
Container shipping is suitable for high-value or classic vehicles.

-
While less common and more expensive, air freight is the fastest method of shipping a vehicle to Jamaica.

Here are other methods of shipping vehicles to Jamaica
Breakbulk Shipping:
This method involves shipping your vehicle as part of a larger cargo consignment, known as breakbulk cargo.
Your vehicle is loaded onto the ship alongside other vehicles and non-containerized cargo.
It can be a cost-effective option, but it may result in longer transit times and fewer guarantees on departure and arrival dates.
Less-Than-Container Load (LCL) Services:
If you are shipping a smaller vehicle or have limited items to transport, you can use LCL services.
LCL combines smaller shipments from multiple customers into a single container.
This method is more cost-effective for smaller loads, but it may involve longer transit times.
Door-to-Door Shipping:
This service provides the convenience of having your vehicle picked up at your location and delivered to your desired destination in Jamaica.
It includes all necessary transportation, handling, and paperwork, ensuring a hassle-free experience.
Port-to-Port Shipping:
This option requires you to deliver your vehicle to the departure port and pick it up at the destination port in Jamaica.
It is usually more budget-friendly but involves more logistics on your part.
