Are you seeking RoRo shipping for a vehicle or machine to Trinidad and Tobago?
RoRo can reduce lifting and container-loading work for eligible operable cargo. We review the unit’s size, condition, title, U.S. origin and destination before matching it to a supported Trinidad and Tobago sailing.
This page is dedicated to RoRo vehicles and rollable cargo—not household container shipping or non-mobile project machinery.
Eligible RoRo Cargo for Trinidad and Tobago
Common cargo includes cars, SUVs, trucks, tractors, buses, forklifts and self-propelled construction machinery. 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
Port of Spain is a primary RoRo planning point; other terminals depend on current service and cargo acceptance.
The importer should confirm vehicle age, permit, right-hand-drive, tax, inspection and customs requirements before the U.S. pickup begins.

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.
