Depending on each client’s budget, cargo, and preferences, shippers can choose to transport their cargo via container or roll-on/roll-off (RORO) vessel.

Containers can be an easy and efficient method for transporting automobiles (especially non-running vintage cars), personal effects, and even construction equipment overseas! There are many different types of containers for different container shipping needs. But no worries! A reliable international shipping company will help clients sort through the information to ensure that they get the very best service they need.

1. A shipper can elect to get their cargo transported in a bulk container, which is 20-feet long and preferable for cargo shipped in bulk.  
2. Clients may also select a 20-foot or 40-foot dry freight container, which is the standard general-purpose container.
3. There is also the 40 or 45-foot high cube container. With its 9’6 height, the high cube container is ideal for large, voluminous cargo. 
4. Heavy and versized cargo is generally most suited for open-top containers, flat racks, and platforms. 

Although international shipping can get expensive, there are ways to lower the cost of international container shipping services. Clients should consider whether they are shipping full-container load (FCL) or the less-than-container load (LCL). FCL is when one client uses one whole container for their goods alone. This is the most expensive option because the cost of the shipping container is entirely charged to one customer. With LCL, a client can share a container with another shipper, which can substantially cut costs because the client will only be responsible for a portion of the price of the container.

RORO shipping, on the other hand, is often the most affordable shipping method. However, it is not acceptable for all types of cargo. RORO shipping is best for self-propelled and wheeled automobiles and construction equipment. Non-running cars, or equipment that is not wheeled, must go into a container instead. This is because the RORO loading process consists of actually driving the automobile or equipment onto the vessel, which is very efficient and affordable for wheeled cargo.

One more thing clients should know about RORO shipping: clients may not load any personal effects into their automobiles if transporting via RORO. If there are personal items the client wishes to ship along with the automobile, a container would be the right choice.

Although K International Transport will help shippers get to know the relevant information about Port Acajutla, shippers should also be aware that some ports and countries have requirements for certain cargo to be accepted at the port. For various types of construction equipment and automobiles , there may be cleanliness requirements. For example, equipment and cars must be kept clean, free of excess dirt, and without leaks. Otherwise, the cargo may not be accepted, or the shipper may be charged a cleaning fee. Some countries may have more specific inspection and cleaning requirements, especially for used large equipment. If these requirements are not met, the cargo may be rejected or withheld when it arrives, so it is very important that shippers strictly abide by these regulations. Shippers need not worry about remembering specific requirements; K International Transport will tell shippers everything they need to know before the shipping commences.
