RO-RO shipping
RO-RO vessels carry wheeled cargo on their own wheels, which removes the cost of a container and the labour of loading one. For a single running vehicle it is normally the most economical option on the water. Anything self-propelled qualifies: cars, trucks, buses, tractors, wheeled plant.

If you are still choosing the vehicle, the vehicle directory is the range of vehicles LWD Africa sells, and each destination has its own page: Nigeria, Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire.
