CONTAINER vs RORO

Why Ship Your Car in a Container

Enclosed container

  • Fully sealed — protected from salt air, weather and deck damage
  • No third-party drivers; sealed at Jebel Ali, opened at destination
  • Non-running, project and modified cars welcome (winched in)
  • Load spare parts & declared personal effects around the car
  • Reaches any container port worldwide

RoRo (drive-on deck)

  • Car sits exposed on an open vehicle deck
  • Handled and driven by port staff
  • Running cars only
  • No personal items inside
  • Limited to RoRo terminals

Container shipping is a premium, secure service — dearer and slightly slower to arrange than RoRo. For any car you value, that trade-off is worth it.

CONTAINER CAPACITY

How Many of Your Cars Fit in One Container?

Every shipment is your own dedicated container — we don’t share your box with other owners. Cars are driven or winched in, then chocked and lashed to the securing points. Switch the tabs to see capacity by container size.

20FT

40FT

45FT HIGH-CUBE

20ft — 1 car

A single vehicle, floor-loaded and lashed to the container’s securing rings. The most secure option for one high-value or classic car.

40ft — 2–4 cars

Two cars loaded flat nose-to-tail, or three to four using purpose-built steel racking — strong economics for dealers.

45ft High-Cube — up to 6 cars

With racking, a 45ft HC carries up to six vehicles depending on their size — the lowest cost per car for bulk movements. The real limit is payload weight, so sedans stack better than large SUVs.
