We always recommend RORO Shipping. That's not to say that RORO shipping is always better than Container shipping but if you are relocating overseas and have other items to send with the vehicle then RORO is not an option for you.

Melbourne Docklands is a suburb in Melbourne, Australia. It occupies an area extending up to 2 km west from the CBD.
Melbourne Docklands is a primarily waterfront area centered around the banks of the Yarra River. Currently, much of this area is being developed to become a new inner city suburb.
Melbourne Docklands is best known as home to the Etihad Stadium, Southern Cross Station and a large number of modern buildings and eccentric public artworks.
The Docklands precinct was originally used for docks, but fell out of use following the containerization of shipping traffic. The space remained vacant and unused during the 1980s and it fell in to disrepair. It was used for "special events" during the 1990s, becoming notable for a number of dance and rave parties.
The redeveloped area will almost double the size of the city's central business district. With a residential population primarily living in high-density high rise apartments, the current population is approximately 6000 persons.

GPLN member Arshiya Logistics WLL (formerly BDP Qatar WLL) handled some
Groove Cranes movement from Michel Machinery Company Inc in the United
States for the Qatari Shareholding Company (QSC) who is engaged into Dolphin
Gas Project and several projects for RasGas / Qatar Gas in Qatar.
Arshiya Logistics WLL(Qatar) with help of 5K Logistics handled this project
movement Ex-USA factory to Qatar project site. The transportation was done
using a MAFI-Cargo trailers from the factory to Galveston Port. The pick up
locations were:
- St. Louis, Missouri - 2 cranes
- Corpus Christi, Texas - one crane
- Oklahoma City, Oklahoma - one crane
A breakulk vessel from Galveston Port, United States, to Doha, Qatar was
booked. Arshiya Logistics also handled inland haulage from Doha Port to the
Qatari client's site using low bed trailers and as well was engaged into
arranging the duty waiver and exemption for this client at Doha Customs.
Along with the haulage Arshiya arranged the police escort and Qatar Traffic
Department permissions.
Initially, QSC had to move total four Grove cranes and the value was approx
USD 1.8 million. Technical specifications were 581.624 m3 and total gross
weight of 160 tons with height of 3.5 meters. There were letter of credit
problems considering the time deadline, etc., and many bottlenecks in
documentation because the supplier was dealing with Qatar client for the
first time.
QSC nominated GPLN member Arshiya Logistics, considering Arshiya's
professionalism in project logistics globally. But handling projects
requires special personalized touch as well as technical expertise because
it is totally different ball game than normal containerized business. The
following hurdles are confirm that if any project movement is given to any
inexperienced service provider just based on rates then blue chip clients
are off course paying penalties for their decision.
1) Just one day before the vessel arrival in Galveston Port Hurricane Ike
hit the area.
2) Power, water issues keep Galveston Port offline for about two weeks
after Hurricane Ike left the port and much of the region. There was no trace
of any shipment as the Port Authority closed the port.
3) But for Arshiya Logistics WLL (Qatar) it was matter client serving and
100% transparency. Arshiya Logistics arranged a 3rd-party surveyor to the
port with help the help of 5K Logistics, the GPLN member in Philadelphia.
The surveyor accessed the cranes and completed the survey. Everything was
okay except some few tires, which were affected because of mud.
4) Most of the vessels cancelled calling at Galveston Port after this
hurricane.
5) These cranes were lying in Galveston Port for almost 45 days.
Shipment was urgent for the Qatari company and for that they had full trust
in Arshiya Logistics's reliability and professionalism. Arshiya Logistics
managed to get the shipment out from United States and in Doha within 40
days without any rate hike and port storage issues.
Arshiya Logistics team of Mr. Vaibhav Malpekar and Mr. Jigar Shah, with 5K
Logistics (Mr. Paul J McGrath and team) were in full coordination and had
conference calls almost every day in order to work out alterative solutions
so that the delivery of these four cranes to the client could be managed as
per prior commitment, in spite of all these hurdles.
Arshiya Logistics is handling more projects for the New Doha International
Airport (NDIA) as well as KAHRAMA (the Qatar Water & Electricity Board).

ARG’s broad gauge loco 841 approaching Ethelton station with the WMC Shunt on 6 June 2005.
The WMC Shunt moved Western Mining Corporation’s containerized, semi-processed mineral products (copper cathodes) from the Port Adelaide area to Pelican Point, Outer Harbor for export. The train was operated by ARG, using broad gauge locos and rolling stock on account of the particular sidings used in Port Adelaide area. It ran from 2002 to 2006 and was a rare example in the 21st Century of a newly-introduced, short-distance railfreight operation within a metropolitan area.
Following construction of the Port River rail bridge, the WMC Shunt would have had a much easier journey than its original route via Gillman Junction, the Rosewater Loop and Glanville, but by the time the new bridge opened, the train had been discontinued (and WMC had been taken over by BHP Billiton).
Pictures of a Komatsu D31 bulldozer purchased at Iron Planet online auctions and being placed into a 40 HQ container by Big Iron in Jacksonville, FL.
Blades, cab, exhaust pipe etc. have been dismantled by Big Iron's containerization crew.
You will see pictures of the dozer prior to being placed in the contianer and after it is safely parked in the container.
Pictures of a Kobelco SK330 excavator being lifted by 2 cranes onto a lowboy.
This Kobelco was not a running machine thus it had to be lifted up and loaded onto a trailer by cranes.

M/V Dole Costa Rica
For over three decades, Dole Ocean Cargo Express has been handling and transporting cargo internationally. Developed exclusively for the purpose of delivering Dole’s delicious and fresh temperature-sensitive cargo, Dole Ocean Cargo Express has since grown with the industry and expanded its borders to handle all types of cargo.
It began in 1964, with Dole’s Standard Fruit and Steamship Company which operated as Vacaro Line. Vacaro specialized in break bulk, mainly perishables and temperature-sensitive cargoes. In the early 1980s, Vacaro Line became Intercontinental Transportation Services, advancing from break bulk to containerized capabilities. I.T.S. was designed to grow with the booming market, and it did. Then, in 1992, Dole Ocean Cargo Express was created as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dole Food Company, Inc. capable of handling all types of cargo between continents.

We have an extensive network of shipping lines along with our custom tailored software that allows us to provide quick rate quotes to customers. We ship vehicles by two methods Containerization and Roro otherwise known as roll on roll off. Cargo that cannot fit into a container must be shipped by RORO which is the cheapest way to ship vehicles, cars, trucks, autos and boats as containers have to be packed and transported to the terminal and may take up more space than necessary. Cars, SUV’S, Trucks, Wheeled equipment and all other auto’s are strapped down and loaded below deck into the hull of the ship that is completely weather proof. No exposure to the elements or salty air / water. For the Container Shipping method we provide 20" and 40" containers which have to be retro fitted with webbing and straps to keep the vehicles in place while shipping. We always recommend RORO Shipping. That's not to say that RORO shipping is always better than Container shipping but if you are relocating overseas and have other items to send with the vehicle then RORO is not an option for you. Or you may be shipping to a port which is only serviced by container vessels then this is the method for you.

This poster caught my eye at Antique Alley in Portland's Hollywood District. At over $350, the piece was prohibitively priced even if I had had room for it, which I do not.
A photo, on the other hand, is free and isn't at risk of fading and other forms of physical deterioration or of falling off the wall.
It's hard to believe that a century ago ocean liners were still carrying passengers in comfort to ports all around the globe.
Jet lag was unheard of then, as was arriving at one's destination rumpled and sleep deprived.
Liners were floating hotels with their own set of maritime traditions. They offered some passengers service levels virtually unknown today.
Emigrants found affordable fares and clean, if spartan, accommodations.
What ocean travel did not accommodate at all well was the short vacation. That wasn't an obstacle for business travelers and expat families.

The History of the American President Lines
In August 1938, the United States Maritime Commission judged the Dollar Shipping Company unsound and assumed control over it, appointing William Gibbs McAdoo to succeed R. Stanley Dollar and Joseph R. Sheehan as the new president of the line.
The first item of business was an amendment to the corporate charter, renaming the line as "American President Lines".[2][18] American Mail Line was also sold to tobacco magnate Richard J. Reynolds and reorganized as an independent company. With that the Dollar Steamship, a long potent force in American shipping, became part of maritime history.[20]
By 1940, the U.S. government had commissioned 16 new ships for APL, continuing the "president" naming of ships, one of these examples being SS President Jackson, a C-3 class merchant vessel.
In 1941, the U.S. entered World War II, and in 1942 the War Shipping Administration was created, of which APL was an agent.
APL worked on the management of some of the Administration's ships, maintaining and overhauling them as well as crewing them and being responsible for the handling of cargo and passengers.
APL's own ships were used, in addition to the many Liberty and Victory ships that were built. In 1944, an additional 16 ships were built specifically for APL, including SS President Buchanan, a Victory class vessel. At the end of the war in 1945, the company's assets were valued at $40 million.[2][21]
One of the APL ships in World War II still survives. SS Lane Victory is a Victory ship that is preserved as a museum ship in the San Pedro area of Los Angeles, California. As a rare surviving Victory ship, she is a U.S. National Historic Landmark. The Lane Victory was built by the California Shipbuilding Corporation in Los Angeles, California and launched on 31 May 1945.[22]
In 1945, R. Stanley Dollar, son of Robert Dollar, initiated court proceedings in the form of the Dollar case, in an attempt to force the return of the company from the government to his family.
This case would last seven years, with the government continuing the operation of APL in the meantime.
APL restarted its round-the-world passenger service, and launched the SS President Cleveland and SS President Wilson the next year, which were advertised as "your American hotel abroad."
In the 1950s, the company again expanded, building more ships; 11 were built between 1952 and 1954.
These included C-4 class cargo ships. Also, a settlement was finally reached in the Dollar case. Rather than the Dollar family taking back the company, it was sold to a group of investors led by Ralph K. Davies for $18.3 million.[2][21]
At this time Davies also acquired control of American Mail Line with the aim of reintegrating it into APL.
In 1958, the company began investigating the possibility of containerization, and sent research teams into 28 major ports.
Following their reports, Davies began integrating containers into the company's business.
By 1961, the company had begun launching ships capable of container transport, the first two of these being the combination break-bulk - container vessels SS President Tyler and SS President Lincoln. Ports also began adapting to the new container-based system, although many potential customers were still wary.
By the end of the decade, the company was still launching combination ships rather than fully cellular container ships as already employed by several U.S., British, European and Japanese lines, yet by 1969, 23% of the company's business moved via container.[2][21][23]
The increasing use of air travel meant that the company's passenger services had steadily been declining throughout the 1960s, and by 1973, the last APL liner, the SS President Wilson, completed her final round-the-world trip and was sold off.

On the Plaza is an example of an intermodal shipping container made famous by Malcolm Purcell McLean (November 14, 1913 – May 25, 2001), an American businessman. who developed the modern intermodal shipping container, which revolutionized transport and international trade in the second half of the twentieth century. Containerization led to a significant reduction in the cost of freight transportation by eliminating the need for repeated handling of individual pieces of cargo, and also improved reliability, reduced cargo theft, and cut inventory costs by shortening transit time. The idea of transporting trucks on ships was put into practice before World War II. In 1926 regular connection of the luxury passenger train from London to Paris, Golden Arrow/Fleche d'Or, by Southern Railway and French Northern Railway began. For transport of passengers' baggage, four containers were used. These containers were loaded in London or Paris and carried to ports, Dover or Calais, on flat cars in the UK and “CIWL Pullman Golden Arrow Fourgon of CIWL” in France. In the early 1950s, McLean decided to attempt use of the containers commercially. By 1952, he was developing plans to carry his company's trucks on ships along the U.S. Atlantic coast, from North Carolina to New York. It soon became apparent that "trailerships", as they were called, would be inefficient because of the large waste in potential cargo space on board the vessel, known as broken stowage. The original concept was modified into loading just the containers, not the chassis, onto the ships, hence the designation container ship or "box" ship. n 1956, most cargoes were loaded and unloaded by hand by longshoremen. Hand-loading a ship cost $5.86 a ton at that time. Using containers, it cost only 16 cents a ton to load a ship, 36-fold savings. Containerization also greatly reduced the time to load and unload ships. McLean knew "A ship earns money only when she's at sea", and based his business on that efficiency. In April 1957, the first container ship, the Gateway City, began regular service between New York, Florida, and Texas. During the summer of 1958 McLean Industries, still using the name Pan-Atlantic Steamship Corporation, inaugurated container service between the U.S. and San Juan, Puerto Rico with the vessel Fairland. The name was officially changed from Pan-Atlantic Steamship Corporation to Sea-Land Service, Inc. in April 1960. McLean's operation was profitable by 1961 and he kept adding routes and buying bigger ships.
Melbourne Docklands is a suburb in Melbourne, Australia. It occupies an area extending up to 2 km west from the CBD.
Melbourne Docklands is a primarily waterfront area centered around the banks of the Yarra River. Currently, much of this area is being developed to become a new inner city suburb.
Melbourne Docklands is best known as home to the Etihad Stadium, Southern Cross Station and a large number of modern buildings and eccentric public artworks.
The Docklands precinct was originally used for docks, but fell out of use following the containerization of shipping traffic. The space remained vacant and unused during the 1980s and it fell in to disrepair. It was used for "special events" during the 1990s, becoming notable for a number of dance and rave parties.
The redeveloped area will almost double the size of the city's central business district. With a residential population primarily living in high-density high rise apartments, the current population is approximately 6000 persons.
The Royal Victoria Dock is dominated by the ExCeL Exhibition Centre, constructed on the north quayside and opened in November 2000. This is where we were heading for the Women's Team Foil event.
Royal Victoria Dock was opened in 1855 on a previously uninhabited area of Plaistow Marshes. It was the first of the Royal Docks and the first London dock to be designed specifically to accommodate large steam ships.
The dock was an immediate commercial success, as it could easily accommodate all but the very largest steamships. By 1860, it was already taking over 850,000 tons of shipping a year - double that of the London Docks, four times that of St Katharine Docks and 70% more than the West India Dock and East India Docks combined. It was badly damaged by German bombing in World War II but experienced a resurgence in trade following the war. However, from the 1960s onwards, the Royal Victoria experienced a steady decline - as did all of London's other docks - as the shipping industry adopted containerization, which effectively moved traffic downstream to Tilbury. It finally closed to commercial traffic along with the other Royal Docks in 1980.
