What is Ro-Ro shipping?

Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) ships cargo that can drive or roll onboard — cars, trucks, buses, trailers, agricultural and construction machinery. No crane needed; faster loading and lower damage risk than crane lifting.

What vehicles can you ship to Africa?

Cars, pickup trucks, SUVs, trucks, buses, tractors, forklifts and excavators. Weight per unit is limited by the terminal and vessel ramp capacity rather than by the ship itself; for very heavy items we recommend break bulk or flat rack.

How long does Ro-Ro take from China to Africa?

West Africa 25-35 days, East Africa 30-40 days, Southern Africa 35-45 days. Services sail from Shanghai and Guangzhou on a weekly to bi-weekly basis.

How much does it cost to ship a car to Africa?

Indicative 2026 Ro-Ro rates: car US$1,200-2,200, SUV/pickup US$1,500-2,800, truck US$3,500-6,500. Container option also available for cars.

Is it safer to ship by Ro-Ro or container?

Ro-Ro is faster and cheaper for cars/trucks; container offers better protection for luxury or sensitive vehicles. We advise per vehicle value and condition.

Loingseoireacht Ro-Ro

Long INT-L feithiclí agus trealamh rollta ón tSín go dtí an Afraic trí Ro-Ro (Roll-ar/Roll-As) — gluaisteáin, trucailí, busanna, innealra talmhaíochta agus trealamh trom. Ní gá craein a bheith ag luchtú rampa; tá meáchan aonaid teoranta ag cumas rampa críochfoirt agus soitheach, mar sin is minic a bhogtar trealamh an-trom trí mhórchóir sos nó raca comhréidh ina ionad. Seoltaí seachtainiúla ó Shanghai/Guangzhou chuig Iarthar, Oirthear agus Deisceart na hAfraice. 24 bliain ar an lána tSín-Afraic.
