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 Nicaragua.

Central American Trade Agreement (Including Nicaragua)
The countries participating in the Central American integration system are:
- Nicaragua
- Panama
- Honduras
- El Salvador
- Guatemala
- Costa Rica
Goods of all types—including trucks, vehicles, machinery, and construction equipment—can be transported between these countries under regional transit regimes without paying duties until the cargo reaches its final destination, as long as the proper customs procedures are followed.
Single Central American Declaration (DUCA)
The Single Central American Declaration (DUCA) is the unified customs document used across Central America to facilitate trade and transit between countries, including Nicaragua.
It replaces and integrates three previous customs documents:
- FAUCA → Used for intra-regional trade of goods originating within Central America
- DUT → Used for international land transit of goods across Central America
- DUA/DM → Used for imports and exports with countries outside the region
DUCA Modalities
There are three types of DUCA, depending on the operation:
- DUCA-F
Used for goods that originate within Central America (regional trade) - DUCA-D
Used for imports or exports between Nicaragua (or other member countries) and countries outside Central America - DUCA-T
Used for international land transit of goods across Central American countries (for example, cargo moving through Nicaragua to another destination)
Implementation
The DUCA system came into force on May 7, 2019, and applies to:
- Nicaragua
- Guatemala
- El Salvador
- Honduras
- Costa Rica
- Panama
Purpose and Importance
The DUCA is a key trade facilitation measure developed by regional customs authorities and the Council of Ministers of Economic Integration.
For Nicaragua, this system:
- Simplifies customs procedures
- Reduces paperwork and delays
- Improves regional logistics efficiency
- Strengthens economic integration within Central America
