RORO car shipping is typically one of the most efficient and cost-effective methods to ship cars overseas when compared with different container shipping methods. However, the costs would vary based on several other factors such as the shipping distance and the weight of the vehicle, as well as any special services or handling that are required. UCS INC. has streamlined the RORO shipping process over the years which makes the pricing pretty straightforward and consistent.
Weight / Measurement (W/M):
Typically RORO shipping carriers base the rate on either the weight of shipment or CBM (Cubic Meters), whichever is greater. Therefore, the cost is based on the Cargo density equation i.e. light cargo is charged based on the CBM.
