Shipping Method for Heavy Machinery Shipments
We use the RoRo shipping method to ship all heavy machinery to the USA.

RoRo Shipping (Roll On/Roll Off)
This is the most cost effective way to ship boats, motorcycles, motorhomes, campers, trailers, buses, and construction vehicles to the USA from anywhere in the world. It boasts set departure and arrival dates, which makes it easy to rely on for timing.
Do You Need Marine Insurance?
It’s recommended but not required. You could choose to cover your heavy machinery for 50% or 75% of the value rather than 100%. Just be aware that you would have to pay for out of pocket damage that may occur if you get limited insurance or no insurance at all. We offer:
1.75% of the value of the equipment for FULL coverage, theft, vandalism, total loss, damage with $500 deductible. Total Loss for 1.25% charge for the value of the machinery. Coverage begins when the machinery is loaded onto the ship and ends when picked up and signed for in the USA.
