WHAT IS RO/RO SHIPPING?
Ro/Ro shipping is a transportation service provided for self propelled cargo on Ro/Ro carrier vessels.
What is a Ro/Ro carrier vessel?
A Ro/Ro carrier vessel is a ship that has special inclines (ramps) constructed to enable vehicles to drive on and off the vessel using the vehicle’s own power. This is the safest, easiest, and most convenient way to transport drivable vehicles across continents.
The vehicles are driven inside the vessel at the port of departure and driven outside at the port of arrival. Lifting port cranes are not used, which is not always the case with other services such as containers, OOG (Out of Gauge), breakbulk, or LO/LO (Lift on/Lift off) ocean services.
In the 1970s, due to large volumes of automobiles being shipped from Japan to North America, a Japanese ocean carrier built its first carrier vessel to carry over 4200 vehicles across the oceans. This is how we carry your vehicles to Guatemala.

Single Central American Declaration (DUCA)
The Central American Single Declaration (DUCA) unites the three main customs declarations that protect trading between Central American countries.
The DUCA integrates the Central American Single Customs Form (FAUCA), which is used to conduct intra-regional trade of originating merchandise. Commonly known as DUT, the Declaration for International Land Customs Transit, is used for the international land transit of goods in Central America. Finally, the Goods Declaration, which is called DUA or DM, is used for trade with specific countries outside the region.
The DUCA has three modalities:
The DUCA-F must be used to trade merchandise that originated in Central American.
The DUCA-D must be used for the import or export of goods with countries outside Central America.
The DUCA-T must be used for the transfer of goods under the international land transit regime.
The application of the DUCA entered into force in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama as of May 7, 2019.
This is a trade facilitation measure, which is the result of the efforts of the region’s customs services, as well as the Council of Ministers of Economic Integration. It constitutes a firm step towards strengthening Central American economic integration.
