Ocean Freight: Shared or Dedicated Container?
6 min read
Choosing a freight method is a trade-off between price, time, and risk. We break down RoRo, shared container, and dedicated container.
How you ship across the Atlantic affects both the price and the safety of the car. The three main options have different risk profiles.
What to choose
| Method | Cost | Safety |
|---|---|---|
| RoRo (on wheels) | Cheapest | Lower — car exposed |
| Shared container | Mid-range | High |
| Dedicated container | Most expensive | Highest |
For salvage, non-running, or valuable cars we recommend a container. RoRo can be cheaper, but it requires a running car and gives you less control over the cargo.
