Proper preparation is especially important in Alaska due to weather and long transit times:

  • Thoroughly clean the vehicle inside and out
  • Remove all personal belongings
  • Keep fuel tank at 1/4 full (3–5 gallons)
  • Ensure battery is charged and vehicle starts easily
  • Check tire pressure and condition
  • Disable alarms and anti-theft systems
  • Take detailed photos of the vehicle’s current condition
  • Provide spare keys
  • For winter shipping: Remove snow/ice and inform us of cold-weather specifics

Why Marine Barge Shipping is Necessary in Alaska

  • Many Alaskan communities are not connected by road to the continental U.S.
  • Barge transport is the most reliable and cost-effective method for long-distance vehicle shipping to Alaska.
  • We handle both direct barge routes and combined road + barge logistics.

Our Marine Barge Shipping Services Include:

  • Anchorage & Southcentral Alaska Regular barge service to Anchorage, the primary port for vehicle deliveries in Alaska.
  • Southeast Alaska (Juneau, Ketchikan, Sitka, etc.) Ferry and barge connections through the Alaska Marine Highway System and private carriers.
  • Interior & Remote Alaska Coordinated delivery to Fairbanks, North Pole, and other inland locations via barge + trucking.
  • Alaska to Lower 48 Return shipments from Alaska back to any U.S. mainland destination.
  • Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) Barge Service Vehicles are driven directly onto the barge for efficient loading and unloading.

Benefits of Our Barge Shipping

  • Fully Insured during the entire marine transit
  • Weather-protected options available (tarping or enclosed when possible)
  • Secure tie-downs to prevent movement during sea voyages
  • Real-time tracking from pickup through barge transit and final delivery
  • Port coordination — we handle all paperwork, scheduling, and port logistics
