What is RoRo Shipping?
RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) shipping means vehicles are driven onto specialized vessels and secured for transit. This method minimizes
handling, reduces loading time, and is often the most cost-effective option for standard running vehicles. RoRo is widely used for cars,
SUVs, trucks, and some heavy equipment that can be driven on/off the ship.

Can I Ship a Non-Running Car From Freeport Texas Port?
Yes — non-running vehicles can be exported from Freeport, but they incur additional handling charges. Typical surcharges include:
| Service | Typical Fee (estimate) |
|---|---|

| Forklift / special handling | ~$650 |
We work with drivers and terminal staff to reduce unnecessary non-runner or forklift fees where possible — but please plan for these costs when the vehicle is not operable.
Personal Items & RoRo
For safety and regulatory reasons, personal items should not be left inside the vehicle. The Department of Transportation and shipping lines
typically prohibit personal cargo inside RoRo vehicles and terminals may perform random inspections. Remove all belongings to avoid delays or fines.
