Container Service
Container Shipping for Vehicles and Equipment
Consolidated and dedicated container options from the USA for vehicles, motorcycles, parts and qualifying project cargo when RoRo is not the best fit.
Shared container service
Eligible cargo is consolidated with compatible shipments. This can be practical for a single vehicle or motorcycle when schedules and destination facilities support consolidation.
Dedicated containers
A complete container is reserved for one customer’s approved cargo. This may suit multiple vehicles, dealer inventory or shipments requiring controlled loading.
Loading and securing
Vehicles are positioned, blocked and secured according to the warehouse plan, container configuration and cargo requirements.
When container shipping may be suitable
- No practical RoRo route serves the destination
- The vehicle is non-running or needs enclosed transport
- Several vehicles are shipping together
- Motorcycles or compatible parts need consolidation
- The cargo requires warehouse preparation

RoRo versus container shipping
RoRo is often simpler for operable wheeled cargo on established routes. A container can offer enclosed transport and more flexible cargo planning, but warehouse, loading and destination charges may differ. Our team reviews both methods when applicable.
