Why Choose RORO or Container Shipping to Turkmenistan?
Turkmenistan is a landlocked country, but its maritime access point—Turkmenbashi International Seaport—receives international cargo arriving through the Caspian Sea region. Vehicles from the USA typically arrive via partner ports such as:
-
Turkey
-
Georgia (Poti/Batumi)
-
Azerbaijan (Baku)
From there, they sail to Turkmenbashi.
Advantages of RORO Shipping
RORO shipping is particularly popular for operational vehicles.
Key benefits:
-
Cost-effective — cheaper than container shipping.
-
Fast loading/unloading — vehicles are driven on/off the ship.
-
Lower damage risk — minimal lifting or crane use.
-
Ideal for standard vehicles — sedans, SUVs, vans, buses.
-
Perfect for machinery — tractors, excavators, bulldozers.
-
Running vehicles preferred — but non-running accepted (extra fee).
Advantages of Container Shipping
For high-value vehicles or those needing extra protection, containers offer:
-
Full security and sealed protection
-
Ability to load parts, tools, or equipment alongside the vehicle
-
Accepted for non-running damaged vehicles
-
Great for luxury cars
