Ro-Ro & Lo-Lo Services

RO-RO (Roll On, Roll Off)

Boats are delivered as is from port – port. Boats must be on a trailer or a cradle must be manufactured. The ocean freight for Roll-on Roll-off is based on cubic ft or meters rather than the economic freight of a container, what may fit inside is OK to ship without additional costs. In the shipping world we refer to this as “Roll on – Roll off”. This is the form of shipping method we would use if your boat is on a trailer or if it is too large for containerized shipping. This is a very economic way to transport your boat whether shipping overseas or within the United States. Origin and destination port fees are greatly reduced due to the boats ability to be moved without the effort of a fork lift or crane.

LO-LO (Lift On, Lift Off)Mainly for cargo too large to be shipped using container service or roll-on roll-off that must be loaded and unloaded directly to the deck of the vessel using cranes and derricks from the port. We refer to this as “Lift on – Lift off”. This method of shipping is used if your boat does not have a trailer or is too large for a trailer. In this case we would have a cradle constructed for your boat for shipping. Although shipping rates and port fees are higher it still can be very economical to ship this way. The reason for the higher rates are due to the use of extra equipment such as fork lifts, cranes, man power, and of course cradle costs.
