Shipping vehicles from the United States to Slovenia has become increasingly popular as demand grows for American SUVs, classic cars, trucks, motorcycles, and heavy equipment throughout Central Europe. One of the most efficient and reliable ways to transport these units is through RORO (Roll-On/Roll-Off) shipping, known for its simplicity, affordability, and safety.
Whether you’re sending a sedan to Ljubljana, exporting a motorcycle to Maribor, or shipping construction machinery to Koper, RORO shipping offers a seamless solution for individuals, car dealers, and equipment buyers in Slovenia.
At All Transport Depot, we specialize in global vehicle and machinery logistics, offering smooth, secure, and cost-effective RORO and container shipping services from major U.S. ports to Slovenia. With years of experience, competitive pricing, and consistent sailings, we make international shipping straightforward and stress-free.

Why Choose RORO Shipping to Slovenia?
RORO shipping is one of the most preferred methods for moving vehicles to Slovenia. Instead of loading units inside containers, vehicles are driven onto the vessel, secured, and driven off upon arrival.
Key advantages include:
-
Cost-effective — generally cheaper than container shipping
-
Fast loading & unloading — reduces delays
-
Lower risk of damage — no crane lifting involved
-
Ideal for all vehicle types — sedans, SUVs, vans, motorcycles
-
Perfect for heavy machinery — tractors, bulldozers, excavators
-
Best for running vehicles — though non-running units are accepted (extra fee)
