The problem we solve

Roll on roll off is the cheapest and safest way to move anything that drives. There is no container to fit inside, no dismantling, no lifting gear, and no risk of damage from being craned into a box. Vehicles and plant are driven aboard, lashed to the deck and driven off at the other end, which is why Ro-Ro remains the default for cars, buses, trailers and self propelled machinery.

Capabilities

How the service actually runs

Four areas where the detail decides whether a shipment is straightforward or expensive.

01

Vehicle shipping

Scheduled Ro-Ro services into Jeddah and Dammam for individual vehicles and full dealer consignments, with condition reports and photographs taken at loading.

02

Plant and machinery

Excavators, loaders, cranes, tractors and harvesters moved on their own tracks or wheels, with dimensions and weights confirmed against deck height before booking.

03

Static and damaged units

Non running vehicles handled on mafi roll trailers so they can still use a Ro-Ro service rather than needing a flat rack and a crane.

04

Import compliance

Saudi vehicle import rules are specific about age, specification and documentation. We confirm eligibility before shipment rather than discovering a problem at the port.

Questions

Ro-Ro Vessel Chartering: the things clients ask first

For anything that drives, usually yes. There is no container to hire, no loading and lashing inside a box, and no crane time at either end. Container shipping only wins where the vehicle is high value and you want it fully enclosed.

Yes. Non running units are loaded on mafi roll trailers and towed aboard. Tell us at booking so the right equipment is reserved, as arranging it at the quay is far more expensive.

Restrictions apply to vehicle age, specification and left hand drive configuration, and certain models require additional approvals. We check the specific unit against current rules before you commit to shipping it.
