Florida to Puerto Rico Freight
Trailers, refrigerated cargo, vehicles and commercial freight from Florida to Puerto Rico on RoRo ships and barges.
Service type: RoRo and barge
Freight from Florida to Puerto Rico moves on RoRo ships and on barges. Vehicles and wheeled cargo can roll on and off, and trailers and containers travel without a driver, to be collected at the destination port.
Refrigerated cargo needs power for the whole voyage. Tell us the temperature range, and we check which options can keep the trailer or container plugged in.
Puerto Rico is part of the U.S. customs territory, so freight from the mainland is domestic. Shipments still need complete paperwork, and some goods are subject to Puerto Rico excise tax on arrival.
