RoRo vs Container Shipping to Grenada
RoRo Shipping
Best for accepted self-propelled machines that start, steer and brake safely. It often reduces handling for loaders, tractors, backhoes, forklifts and trucks.
Container / Flat Rack
Closed containers suit compact machinery and parts. Flat racks handle over-width or over-height cargo, while very large units may need breakbulk or project cargo service.
Major Grenada Ports for Heavy Machinery
St. George’s Port
Primary commercial gateway for machinery, subject to the booked carrier, terminal capability and equipment dimensions.
Grenville / project routing
Alternative routing option for selected cargo or projects when service and heavy-haul access are confirmed.
Grenada Customs & Import Rules
Heavy machinery should be imported with a complete customs declaration, commercial invoice, serial number and correct HS classification. Duties and VAT depend on classification and value. Agricultural or soil-contact machinery should be clean and may require additional inspection or permits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can non-running machinery be shipped to Grenada?
Yes, but it usually needs towing, lifting, container, flat-rack or breakbulk handling instead of standard RoRo.
What is usually the most economical shipping method?
RoRo is often the most economical option for an accepted operable self-propelled machine. Compact equipment may be more practical in a container.
Can ATD pick up from auctions and dealers?
