Shipping Method for Shipping Heavy Machinery to Bahrain
Our shipping vessels depart weekly from all eight U.S. seaports listed above to the one port in Bahrain. The shipping method we use to get your machinery from the USA to Bahrain is the RoRo method.

RoRo Shipping (Roll-On/Roll-Off)
This is the method utilized for shipping most construction vehicles, boats, motorcycles, motorhomes, campers, trailers, and buses. This method has cost-effectiveness and efficiency on its side, not to mention more reliability in departure and arrival dates. The inside of the ship is similar to the ramps of a parking garage, and the machinery can be rolled or driven up the ramps and secured to the boat.
Do You Need Marine Insurance?
It’s not a requirement when shipping heavy machinery to Bahrain but it is a recommendation. It would prevent you from having to pay out of pocket for any damages (this is rare but could happen on rough seas).
1.75% of the value of the machinery for FULL coverage, theft, vandalism, total loss, damage with $500 deductible. Coverage begins when your machinery is loaded onto the ship until the time it is collected and signed for at the destination. Total Loss for 1.25% charge for the value of the machinery. Some people opt to cover their machinery for 50% or 75% of the equipment’s value rather than 100%.
