Specializing in RoRo &
Out-of-Gauge Cargo 
Wing Bridge Shipping Company is one of the world's leading ocean carriers for breakbulk cargo, structural steel, pipe, construction equipment, agricultural equipment, trailers, yachts, boats, automobiles, oil well supplies, cement batch plants, and portable asphalt plants. With the trade's most unique and versatile fleet of multi-purpose, RoRo / LoLo vessels, transporting out-of-gauge and hard to handle cargoes is our specialty. 

Unique Vessels, Unique Alternatives 
No other carrier is better suited to provide you with unique alternatives to shipping those products which cannot be containerized due to size, weight, or configuration. Wing Bridge professionals are at your service to help you choose the right equipment, stowage, and routing for transporting the most complicated projects quickly and damage-free. Your products are subject to less physical handling, and the need for costly dismantling and reassembly can be virtually eliminated. 

Most liner vessels around the world today are cellular, full container vessels. These vessels are perfect for cargo that fits neatly into a standard 20' or 40' container. However, most things do not fit in standard packages. When shipping an oversized piece of machinery or equipment by container, the manufacturer is forced to dismantle the product into several pieces and then reassemble them at final destination. This is a costly and time-consuming proposition.

Eliminating Risk of Damage 
In addition to the time and costs required for dismantling and reassembly, container transportation also brings the risk of damage. All containers are lifted numerous times between origin and destination -- from truck to rail, from rail to truck, from truck to ground at the ocean terminal, from ground to the vessel, and then the same handling process in reverse at the destination's end. Furthermore, when the cargo moves in a standard container or flat rack, there is also the danger of being exposed to the elements if stowed above deck. Anyone who has seen the fury of the sea in winter can understand that waves crash on the decks of the largest containerships hundreds of times during a single voyage, sometimes with a force that can dent the strongest container. 

The Wing Bridge Way 
The RoRo operation completely eliminates most of these costs and risks. Cargo can generally avoid all dismantling and reassembly because it can often move as one piece from port to port, and in some cases on flatbed trailers or lowboys from origin to destination. There is less handling because the cargo is not lifted on and off the vessel, but driven on, parked, then driven off. There is no danger of water damage because the cargo is always secured in the vessel's lower hold for the entire voyage. In general, the RoRo mode is the safest and most cost-effective way to handle out-of-gauge cargo. Nothing else compares.
