What is Ro-Ro shipping?

Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) ships cargo that can drive or roll onboard — cars, trucks, buses, trailers, agricultural and construction machinery. No crane needed; faster loading and lower damage risk than crane lifting.

What vehicles can you ship to Africa?

Cars, pickup trucks, SUVs, trucks, buses, tractors, forklifts and excavators. Weight per unit is limited by the terminal and vessel ramp capacity rather than by the ship itself; for very heavy items we recommend break bulk or flat rack.

How long does Ro-Ro take from China to Africa?

West Africa 25-35 days, East Africa 30-40 days, Southern Africa 35-45 days. Services sail from Shanghai and Guangzhou on a weekly to bi-weekly basis.

Indicative 2026 Ro-Ro rates: car US$1,200-2,200, SUV/pickup US$1,500-2,800, truck US$3,500-6,500. Container option also available for cars.

Is it safer to ship by Ro-Ro or container?

Ro-Ro is faster and cheaper for cars/trucks; container offers better protection for luxury or sensitive vehicles. We advise per vehicle value and condition.

Ro-Ro Shipping

SPEED INT-L ships vehicles and rolling equipment from China to Africa via Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) — cars, trucks, buses, agricultural machinery and heavy equipment. Ramp loading needs no crane; unit weight is limited by terminal and vessel ramp capacity, so very heavy equipment is often moved by break bulk or flat rack instead. Weekly sailings from Shanghai/Guangzhou to West, East and Southern Africa. 24 years on the China-Africa lane.
