Open Trailer Transportation

Open trailer transport is a good choice for moving your vehicle if it is going a relative short distance or needs to be loaded onto a RoRo (Roll-On Roll Off) Ship. Most times, your car will be secured to the trailer by its tires to prevent any wear on the rest of the car.

Enclosed Vehicle Transportation

An enclosed vehicle transport is a good option for vehicles of high value such as antiques, classics exotic cars or sports cars. Your vehicle will be protected from the weather and from road debris such as rocks, dust and dirt. Vehicles with low ground clearance are also better suited to be delivered by enclosed vehicle transport. This method of transportation offers an additional layer of security compared to Open Trailer Transport.

No matter what option you choose, we make sure that each shipment is covered by insurance and the necessary paperwork is completed.

There are three parts to an International cargo's journey. Getting to the port, sailing across the ocean and getting from the port to the final destination. JBH Worldwide handles all stages of the journey.

Automobiles can be shipped by two methods. The first, and usually most cost effective, is by RoRo (Roll-On, Roll-Off) where the vehicle is driven onto an interior deck of the ship, lashed to the deck, and driven off at the destination. The second method is by Shipping Container. We can have the container delivered to you to load yourself, or we can have one of our warehouses load your vehicle(s) inside. The benefit of shipping with a container is that you can place other items with the vehicle inside the container. Whether the car is completely in full working order or is a non-runner, we handle them all. We are available to answer any questions you may have.

We handle non-runners, forklift units, tow and regular RoRo vehicles

We use Sallaum Shipping Lines and Grimaldi Shipping Lines to ship vehicles and other cargo. Look below to see the shipping vessel schedule.
