RORO shipping to Azerbaijan from the USA is one of the most affordable and reliable ways to transport cars, trucks, motorcycles, and heavy equipment overseas. With this method, vehicles are rolled directly onto the vessel at the departure port and rolled off upon arrival, ensuring a smooth and efficient process.
When you choose All Transport Depot Inc., you get professional RORO services from multiple U.S. ports to Baku, Azerbaijan’s main maritime hub. Whether you’re an individual importing a personal vehicle or a business moving commercial machinery, we make the process simple, fast, and cost-effective.
What is RORO Shipping?
RORO (Roll-On Roll-Off) is a specialized shipping method designed for wheeled cargo. Vehicles are driven directly onto the ship using ramps and secured safely inside. Once the vessel reaches Azerbaijan, they are rolled off for customs clearance.
Unlike container shipping, RORO is quicker, easier, and generally less expensive, making it a preferred option for many shippers.
