Container vs RORO

이 콘텐츠는 아직 번역되지 않았습니다.

Export119 handles two ocean-freight modes for used-car export:

ModeWhat it isBest for
ContainerA 20’/40’/45’ steel box. Cars loaded inside; the box rides on a container ship.Higher-value cars, mixed cargo (cars + parts + small equipment), more theft protection.
RORO (Roll-on / Roll-off)A car-carrier ship. Cars drive on, drive off — no container.Bulk volume, lower per-unit cost, vehicles that won’t fit in containers (heavy equipment, oversized).

A trader picks the mode when booking. A forwarder publishes schedules for both.

Cargo category

Section titled “Cargo category”

Each schedule auto-derives a cargoCategory from its pricing-matrix rows:

Pricing matrix rowscargoCategory
Only cars-in-container HS codescars_container
Only non-car HS codes (parts, equipment, etc.)other_cargo
Bothmixed
RORO triproro (separate model)

Cargo category drives the document checklist downstream — a cars_container shipment requires a B/L, packing list, commercial invoice, insurance certificate, etc.; an other_cargo shipment may need a different set. See Document checklist.

When to pick which

What’s in a schedule

Section titled “What’s in a schedule”

A schedule (whether container or RORO) carries:

  • Origin and destination terminals — ports of loading and discharge.
  • ETD / ETA — estimated departure and arrival dates.
  • Voyage number — the shipping line’s reference.
  • Pricing matrix — for containers, per-HS-code-equipment-type cells. For RORO, per-vehicle-category cells.
  • Loading method options — bobtail, direct, etc., with daily costs.
  • Safe-freight agreement (Korea origin only) — sign-up that 안전운임 rates apply for inland trucking.
  • Cut-off dates — VGM cut-off, cargo cut-off, document cut-off.
