Car Transport CompanyFrom the U.S.A. to many overseas destination's service is available from a car transport company via modern Ro/Ro (roll on roll off vessels. A car transport company can use these special ships allow the vehicle to be driven on and driven off and for no motorized vehicles they can be towed on and off the ship. These ships have special decks that are enclosed and are much the same as a regular multi story parking garage your any city or town. Except in this case they are the length and width of the ship and are a little like an aircraft carriers deck but they are inside the ship to give the vehicles protection from the elements. However, not all destinations of the world are served by these special Ro/Ro vessels as they are only operating to certain countries such as most of Europe, Japan and a few more places. A car transport company can ship a vehicle using one of these special Ro/Ro vessels from the U.S.A. to a major hub port overseas and then transship the vehicle using another smaller vessel. This smaller vessel used by a car transport company might be another Ro/Ro type of ship where available or if not available it would be a conventional break bulk vessel or even a container vessel. In the case where these special car transport company vessels are not available it is necessary to use a conventional break bulk ship or where possible put the vehicle into a container for shipment on a container vessel. Conventional break bulk car transport company vessels are not the most desirable choice as a vehicle is subject to damage during loading and or discharging as they must use ropes, chains or a platform using a crane to get the vehicle on and off the ship. Using a car transport company container also has drawbacks as the vehicle has to be loaded into the container, blocked and braced so it will not move and this must be done off the pier in a warehouse. Once done the loaded, the car transport company container needs to be trucked to the pier and then can be loaded on the ship. As a added problem it has been know for the US Customs to stop a car transport company container containing vehicles and have them opened up so that they can make a physical inspection so make sure that they are not stolen or on a stolen list. The shipper could be help responsible for the costs of this unloading and then re-loading. It could cost a bundle and it is just the hazard of the trade. |
