Taking a vehicle overseas? iLines International helps coordinate ocean vehicle shipping, including roll-on/roll-off (RORO) and containerized vehicle shipments, depending on your destination, vehicle and available carrier service.
Ocean auto shipping is different from domestic open and enclosed truck transport.
We help you choose the method that matches the destination, vehicle type, handling requirements and total quoted charges. Availability varies by route and vessel.
Vehicles are driven or rolled aboard a purpose-built vessel using ramps, secured for the sea voyage and discharged at the destination port.
Your vehicle is secured inside an ocean container rather than driven onto a RORO vessel. A dedicated container may be an option for certain vehicle or relocation requirements.
Our team helps you organize shipping arrangements and understand what is required before the vehicle is delivered to a port.
Tell us the origin, destination, year, make, model, dimensions, operability and preferred timeframe.
We assess RORO or container shipping subject to available routes and receiving requirements.
We explain applicable ownership, export and destination requirements for your shipment.
We help coordinate export handling, ocean transit, arrival milestones and destination services as quoted.
Planning note: Ocean freight, port fees, destination handling, customs duties and taxes are not automatically included in every quote. Ask for a written breakdown of what is included and excluded.
Auto Transport covers open and enclosed road carriers moving vehicles between pickup and delivery locations. That is a different service from overseas RORO or container shipping. Ground transport may sometimes be arranged as one leg of a longer ocean shipment.
See Open & Enclosed Auto Transport →No. RORO uses a vessel with vehicle ramps; containerized shipping places the secured vehicle inside a shipping container.
Ground transportation to a port may be available as an additional service. Please provide your pickup location when requesting an ocean shipping estimate.
Yes. Export and import requirements vary by country and by the type of vehicle. Ask about ownership documents, export requirements and destination registration rules before booking.
RORO carriers generally prohibit personal belongings inside vehicles. Cargo inside a container depends on the service, packing plan and customs rules; please confirm before loading.
Tell us what you are shipping and where it is going. We will help review the available ocean shipping options for your route.
