Shipping Method for Shipping Heavy Machinery to Europe
The RoRo method is the preferred method for shipping heavy machinery to Europe. Our vessels depart every week from all major U.S. seaports to any of the above-listed countries in Europe.
RoRo Shipping (Roll-On/Roll-Off)
Vehicles must roll on and off the ship to use this parking garage-like vessel. This is the most convenient, quick, and cost-effective method of getting construction vehicles, boats, motorcycles, motorhomes, campers, trailers, and buses overseas. The departure and arrival dates are pretty firmly set, such as in an airport.
Do You Need Marine Insurance?
Technically, no. We don’t require it but we certainly recommend it. This will protect you in the event of damage to your machinery while in transit. It’s rare but it happens. If you don’t buy it, you will be responsible for paying out of pocket for any damage. You could also opt to cover your machinery for 50% or 75% of the equipment’s value rather than the full 100% if you find it too cost-prohibitive.
We offer 1.75% of the value of the machinery for FULL coverage, theft, vandalism, total loss, and damage with a $500 deductible. Coverage begins when the machinery is loaded onto the ship car to europe and ends when the pickup person signs for it at the arrival port. Total Loss for 1.25% charge for the value of the machinery.
