RoRo Shipping for Trucks and Vehicles

The most common way to ship trucks and vehicles internationally is RoRo shipping (Roll-on Roll-off).

Vehicles are driven directly onto specialised RoRo vessels using ramps and secured inside the ship.

RoRo shipping is ideal for:

  • trucks

  • buses

  • tractors

  • vans

  • cars

  • wheeled machinery

Advantages of RoRo shipping:

  • Lower cost compared to container shipping

  • Faster loading and unloading

  • No need for container handling

  • Ideal for large vehicles and machinery

For most customers exporting trucks to Africa, RoRo shipping is the preferred solution.




Container Shipping for Vehicles and Parts

Container shipping is used when:

  • the vehicle is not running

  • transporting spare parts

  • shipping engines or pallets

  • transporting high-value vehicles

Containers can also be used to load spare parts inside vehicles, reducing total shipping cost.

Common container sizes:

  • 20ft container

  • 40ft container

  • High cube containers

Our team can arrange professional loading and securing of cargo for container shipments.

Documents Required for Vehicle Export

Exporting vehicles internationally requires proper documentation.

Common export documents include:

  • Commercial invoice

  • Bill of lading

  • Export declaration

  • Vehicle registration or title

  • Packing list (for containers)

Certain countries may also require additional documentation such as Cargo Tracking Notes (CTN) or destination-specific import permits.

Our team assists customers in preparing the correct documentation for shipment.

Cargo Tracking Note (CTN) Requirements

Many African countries require a Cargo Tracking Note (CTN) before cargo arrives at the destination port.

Countries that often require CTN include:

  • Senegal

  • Ivory Coast

  • Cameroon

  • Congo

  • Gabon

Failure to obtain this document before shipment can result in penalties or delays.

We can assist customers in arranging the correct documentation when required.

Shipping Cost for Trucks and Vehicles

Shipping cost depends on several factors:

  • vehicle size

  • port of departure

  • destination port

  • shipping method (RoRo or container)

  • shipping line availability
