Can Am Spyder Baltimore to Zeebrugge by RoRo
Just FYI, We will be shipping this three wheeler by RoRo ferry from Baltimore to Zeebrugge on May 8th. Cost $1020 US. Air freight was quoted at $5000 CDN as it is not included in Air Canada's promo program.
We chose this route because it is direct, non stop and therefore significantly more reliable delivery times. We've been burnt on container shipping before with a three week delay in delivery.
Downside of RoRo is that there can be no luggage on bike during travel, so it will have additional luggage costs with the airfare.
Ships leaving every two to three weeks, travel time 12-14 days. Lesser cost on pick up end as there is no container movement, de-stuffing charges etc.
We will be shipping a two wheeled bike by Air Canada promotional pricing so we will have some wheels available when we arrive, and packing as much stuff on it as possible.
Will post results of this experiment. Stay tuned.
