Hi Simon, not specifically about UnRoRo, more about RoRo generally. I've met and spoken to a number of people who have had items removed from the car while it's being shipped. Even items bolted onto the car.
Problem seems to be that the car goes through a number of people's hands - the loaders, the crew, the unloaders, the storage company at the other end, port handlers etc. Obviously they have the keys as they need to dive the car on/ off, move it at the docks etc. No one knows who removed your items and they all claim that's how the car was when they received it.
When car importers use RoRo the cars are brand new and empty - when overlanders use them the vehicles are crammed full of gear that takes us months to collect and is difficult to replace when you arrive.
May be that we have no alternative though.
Could you put up the contact details you have for them?
Regards
Scott
