If you are ship a car from Japan to the UK on a single vehicle the best way to ship a car is using the Roll On/Roll Off services from Japan to UK as often makes the most sense cost and convenience- wise.
Roll-on/Roll-off, or “RO/RO” is a method of ship a car by driving them on and then off a ship. Vehicles are either driven under their own power or via a platform vehicle, using a ship a car or shore-based ramp.
A special kind of ship is used for RO/RO shipments. It is called to the surprise of nobody, a RO/RO ship.
RO/RO ships are specifically designed to transport vehicles, so they are extremely good at what they do. They are the safest way to transport a vehicle without sustaining damage, because unlike container transport or knockdown shipping, units are not packed closely together.
A RO/RO ship is essentially a parking lot that can sail across oceans.
If you’ve ever taken a ferry where you drive on, park your car on deck or below, sail across a body of water and then hop back in your car and drive off… well, it’ s the same idea.
The difference is that a RO/RO ship can be gigantic, with the largest RO/RO ship accommodating an incredible 8,000 cars.
Some types of RO/RO vessels include PCCs (pure car carriers) and PCTCs (pure car/truck carriers).
These are “pure” RO/RO vessels that only take vehicles to Ship a Car.
There are also hybrid vessels like the ConRO type ship, which carries both containers and RO/RO type vehicles.RO/RO is very efficient.
When you ship a car via Ro RO and the ship arrives at its port of destination, it’s fast to off-load and sort everything, because there’s generally only one kind of commodity onboard.
There’s no need for highly trained crane operators or the complicated, expensive equipment they use. This also means that RO/RO ships can land at less developed ports with ease.
