Shipping truck from Buenos Aires to Houston, RORO
I would like to ship my big truck RORO from Buenos Aires to Houston or another location in the US.
Can anyone recommend a shipping company or agent?
Many thanks in advance

I see you never got an answer here, but did you find something?
I'm in Buenos Aires now and want to ship my 4x4 to Miami (or somewhere nearby).
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Trond

Not sure when you are looking to depart, but I am trying to get my motorcycle back in late March. I know of least one other person with a motorcycle who is looking around the same time.

Thanks for the thought Xahatter, but I'm looking for a RORO (roll on roll off) ship, not a container as it's cheaper. That is if I do it alone.
But you raise an interesting idea: is RORO still cheaper if I share a container with a couple of bikes? Hmmm...gonna have to do the math on that one.
I'm still waiting for quotes from RORO shipping lines and various logistic companies (by the way, thanks Segar - I used your link to request another quote) so when I get them, I'll compare it to sharing a container. Might be worthwhile doing this together.
