Transport Options: Which is Best for Your Vehicle?

Depending on the size of your motorhome or caravan, there are different transport options:

Ro-Ro Transport for Larger Vehicles

Roll-on/Roll-off (Ro-Ro) is ideal for large motorhomes and caravans that cannot fit into a container. Your vehicle is placed on the deck of a specially designed ship and securely fastened.

Container Transport for More Compact Vehicles

For smaller motorhomes and caravans, container transport can be a good option. This offers extra protection against weather conditions and theft.
