At AA Motorcycle Shipping, we offer competitive rates tailored to your specific needs, ensuring affordability without compromising on quality.
Methods of Shipping
(RoRo) Shipping
RoRo, short for “roll on, roll off,” is a shipping method where vehicles can drive onto and off the ship. These ships are like big parking garages and can transport motorcycles, motorhomes, trailers, buses, and other vehicles. RoRo is commonly used for single vehicles, but they must be able to move up and down the ship’s ramp independently. Once your motorcycle is on the RoRo ship, it’s securely fastened in place.
Motorcycle manufactureres often choose RoRo shipping for extra protection. All bikes are tightly fixed to the deck, shielding them from the open sea.
This method is very efficient and budget-friendly, with reliable departure and arrival schedules like those of airline flights.
Container Shipping
Container shipping entails the transportation of motorcycles in a dedicated container, ensuring individual protection and security throughout the journey. Each motorcycle is loaded into its own designated space within the container, safeguarding it from potential damage or contact with other cargo.
Shared Container
Shared container shipping involves multiple motorcycles being shipped together within the same container. Owners can opt for this cost-effective solution to share expenses, such as container rental and shipping fees, among multiple parties. Measures are taken to securely position and separate each bike to prevent any potential damage or interference during transport.
