RoRo (roll-on/roll-off): the cheapest per car for running vehicles. Cars are driven onto the vessel and secured on decks. Transit to major ports (Jebel Ali, Rotterdam, Karachi) takes 15 to 35 days. Downside: cars are exposed to weather and salt air, and minor handling scratches happen occasionally. Container (20ft/40ft): one 40ft high-cube fits one car with parts, or two small cars with racking. Cost is higher than RoRo but cars are sealed and protected. Best for high-value vehicles, EVs (battery safety rules often require container), or when shipping spare parts together. Flat rack: for oversized vehicles (trucks, buses, modified cars). Priced per dimensions. Practical advice: for a standard used car to a port with RoRo service, choose RoRo and add marine insurance (0.3%–0.8% of value). If your destination lacks RoRo calls or you ship an EV, use a container. Always get the booking confirmation and bill of lading copy before paying the final balance.

Under CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) terms, we will insure your vehicle with a reputable international insurance company for "All Risks" before shipment. If total loss or partial damage occurs during sea transport, the risk transfers to you once the goods cross the ship's rail. However, sellwellauto will not stand by; we will assist you in preparing complete claims documentation (such as the bill of lading, invoice, and damage photos) to initiate a cross-border claim process with the insurance company, minimizing your financial loss.

This is considered a force majeure risk. We will require the vehicle's state of charge (SOC) to be maintained in a safe dormant range of 30%-50% before loading, and we will insure you for all marine risks under CIF terms. If the battery suffers thermal runaway total loss due to abnormal cargo hold temperatures, the insurance company will compensate.
