RORO Capacity Is Growing — Here's Why Choosing the Wrong Shipping Partner Can Cost You Everything
The global roll-on/roll-off (RORO) shipping market is valued at $78.4 billion in 2026 — and it's projected to reach $134.72 billion by 2035. For exporters shipping cars, trucks, and heavy equipment from the United States to West Africa, the Middle East, or Europe, that growth sounds like great news. More vessels. More schedules. More options. But here's what most shippers don't realize: a growing market also attracts unqualified operators who are not licensed, not bonded, and not equipped to protect your cargo. In a $78 billion market, the cost of choosing the wrong partner is higher than ever. Delays, compliance failures, missed cut-offs, and damaged vehicles are not just inconveniences — they destroy business relationships and erode customer trust.
What Makes a Freight Partner "Trustworthy" in RORO Shipping?
The first thing to check is FMC licensing. An FMC-licensed NVOCC (Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier) is authorized by the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission to issue bills of lading, act as a carrier intermediary, and operate under strict federal compliance standards. A general freight broker does not hold this designation — and that gap in credentials is where shippers get hurt.
