Glider RO/RO Shippers

[Mike[_32_]]

I am planing on sending a glider to AMS for refinish and as you can
imagine freight is a big issue. Can anyone offer guidance to shippers
or freight forwarders that may take the glider and trailer as RO/RO to
either Kopers in Solvenia, or Trieste, in Italy (my base port would be
Baltimore). These two ports are much closer to AMS than Bremerhaven. I
am a newbie at freight so any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

I imported an Apis from AMS a couple years ago. I put the trailer in a
container and shipped all the way to the west coast. the cost broke
down not too much different, the reason being that driving your
trailer around adds up quickly on a per Km cost. There is also the
peace of mind that the glider/trailer is in a locked box.
RO/RO shipping was not a siginificant cost saving.
