Shipping vehicles from the United States to Norway has become increasingly popular due to strong demand for American cars, SUVs, trucks, and specialized equipment. One of the most efficient and widely used transport methods is RORO (Roll-On/Roll-Off) shipping, valued for its simplicity, speed, and cost-effectiveness. Whether you’re shipping a personal vehicle to Drammen or exporting commercial units or machinery to Norway, RORO shipping provides a secure and practical solution for individuals, dealers, and businesses.
