International motorcycle shipping
Ship Your Motorcycle Anywhere in the World — Safely & On Schedule
Go Ocean Logistics handles international motorcycle shipping from the U.S. to over 100 countries — door-to-port or port-to-port, with full export customs filing and marine insurance options.
Motorcycle & Powersport Vehicles We Accept
Your motorcycle is more than transportation — it’s an investment, a passion, and often a one-of-a-kind machine. Shipping it overseas requires a company that handles it with the same care you do.
At Go Ocean Logistics, we ship motorcycles of all types and sizes internationally using Roll-On/Roll-Off (RoRo) vessels — the safest, most reliable, and most cost-effective method for two-wheeled vehicles. From standard street bikes to custom Harleys, vintage bikes to ATVs, we manage every detail from the moment your bike leaves your hands to the moment it arrives at its destination.
Street Motorcycles
Sport Bikes
Harley-Davidson
Custom Bikes
Touring Bikes
Vintage Bikes
Classic Bikes
Trikes
ATVs
UTVs
Snowmobiles
D&M Bikes
If it has wheels and a motor, we can ship it.
SHIPPING METHOD
We match the service level to your actual deadline, not an upsell.
RoRo (Roll-On / Roll-Off) — The Standard for Motorcycle Shipping
For all international destinations, Go Ocean Logistics ships motorcycles using the RoRo method. Your motorcycle is loaded onto a specialized ocean vessel through a ramp, secured to the deck inside the ship, and unloaded at the destination port on its own wheels.
Why RoRo is ideal for motorcycles:
- No cranes or lifting — significantly reduces risk of damage during loading
- Stored inside the vessel, protected from saltwater and weather
- Fixed departure schedules — you know exactly when it leaves
- Most cost-effective option for single vehicles
- Trusted by manufacturers, dealers, and private owners worldwide
Note: Non-running motorcycles may require container shipping with special terminal handling.
