🚢 Exporting a vehicle to Africa: container or Ro-Ro?
At Phenicia Engineering, we are often asked this question. Here is the simple answer 👇
1. Ro-Ro (Roll-On / Roll-Off)
The vehicle rolls onto the ship via a ramp.
âś… Cheaper
âś… Fast charging
❌ Less protection (rain, salt, risk of minor damage)
❌ It is not possible to transport parts in the vehicle.
2. Container
The vehicle is placed in a closed container.
âś… Maximum protection against the elements and theft
âś… Possibility to add spare parts or accessories
❌ More expensive
❌ Longer preparation and handling time
⸻
đź’ˇ In summary
• Ro-Ro 👉 ideal for a standard vehicle, in good condition, with an optimized budget.
• Container 👉 perfect for a high-end, armored vehicle, or when you want total security.
At Phenicia Engineering, we support each client in choosing the best solution based on:
✔️ the value of the vehicle
✔️ the destination country
✔️ the budget and the deadline
