A car transport company can ship a vehicle using one of these special Ro/Ro vessels from the U.S.A. to a major hub port overseas and then transship the vehicle using another smaller vessel. This smaller vessel used by a car transport company might be another Ro/Ro type of ship where available or if not available it would be a conventional break bulk vessel or even a container vessel. In the case where these special car transport company vessels are not available it is necessary to use a conventional break bulk ship or where possible put the vehicle into a container for shipment on a container vessel. Conventional break bulk car transport company vessels are not the most desirable choice as a vehicle is subject to damage during loading and or discharging as they must use ropes, chains or a platform using a crane to get the vehicle on and off the ship.
