Break-bulk and RORO
Break-bulk and RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) shipping are specialized freight solutions for oversized and wheeled cargo. RoRo is ideal for transporting vehicles and heavy machinery, allowing them to be driven directly onto the vessel for secure transit. At the same time, break-bulk is used for goods too large for standard containers, ensuring each piece is individually secured for maximum safety.
