Vessel Chartering for Electric Buses and Heavy Equipment

Buses, trucks, tractors and other rolling units shipped on ro-ro, multipurpose or general cargo vessels with lashing and securing arrangements.

Electric buses and wheeled machinery are fixed unit by unit: length, width and height of each unit, its weight and ground clearance, whether it rolls on its own wheels or has to be lifted, and the battery type, state of charge and battery safety documentation the carrier will ask for.

That decides Ro-Ro or Lo-Lo, the lashing and chocking plan on board, and which vessels can work the units at both ends of the voyage.

We act as independent shipbrokers and do not own vessels.
