Roll-on-Roll-off (Ro-Ro)
It’s a method of shipping where equipment is driven directly onto and off a ship
Full-Container Load (FCL)
This means the entire container is dedicated to your shipment. It’s a popular choice for shipping equipment due to the protection and control it offers
Flat Rack
Excellent choice for transporting equipment, especially those that are oversized or have dimensions exceeding standard container limits
