Are you comparing RoRo shipping to Nassau or Freeport in the Bahamas?
The correct Bahamian island and port must be selected before a vehicle is dispatched. We match eligible running vehicles and rollable machinery with a supported U.S. departure and provide the terminal and documentation plan.
This page is dedicated to RoRo vehicles and rollable cargo—not household container shipping or non-mobile project machinery.
Eligible RoRo Cargo for the Bahamas
Common cargo includes cars, SUVs, pickups, vans, commercial trucks, trailers and approved mobile equipment. Final acceptance depends on the unit’s dimensions, condition, carrier rules and the receiving terminal. Non-running or leaking units must be disclosed before booking.
Why Exporters Choose RoRo
Reduced Handling
Eligible units roll aboard without standard container loading and unloading.
Vehicle-Focused Terminals
Bookings use terminals and vessels equipped for cars and mobile machinery.
Clear Cargo Planning
Dimensions, condition, title and destination are reviewed before terminal delivery.
Destination Port and Import Planning
Nassau and Freeport are considered according to the final island, carrier schedule and vehicle acceptance.
The importer should confirm duty, environmental levy, vehicle eligibility, inspection and island delivery arrangements before booking.

RoRo Shipping Process
- Eligibility review: confirm that the cargo and destination can use RoRo service.
- Route selection: compare supported U.S. ports, carrier schedules and destination terminals.
- Pickup or self-delivery: arrange inland movement or issue terminal instructions.
- Export documents: submit title and shipment information before the carrier and U.S. deadlines.
- Terminal receiving: deliver the clean, empty and operable unit within the booking window.
- Arrival: the consignee or broker completes customs, pays local charges and collects the cargo.
RoRo Versus Container Shipping
RoRo usually fits operable vehicles and rollable equipment. A container may be better for non-running units, loose parts, personal effects, higher-value vehicles or consolidated cargo. Oversized non-mobile machinery may require flat rack, breakbulk or project-cargo handling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a non-running vehicle ship by RoRo?
Sometimes, but only with advance carrier approval and special handling. Never deliver a non-running unit under a standard running booking.
Can I leave personal items inside?
Do not assume so. Contents can be restricted by the carrier or destination and must be declared before booking.
Is the lowest ocean rate the total cost?
No. Pickup, terminal charges, documentation, destination fees, duties, storage and inland delivery can materially affect the total shipment cost.
For household or commercial cargo, use our container service. For large non-mobile equipment, use our heavy machinery service.
