The main advantage of the Roro option is that you escape all customs clearance torture procedures.
Sharing a container from Antwerpen to Buenos Aires cost me only 200 Euros, but getting the bike out took me 5 days and 500 Euros. Avoid Buenos Aires at all costs, especieally for shipping back. I read a story of german camper owners that trusted an argentine agent and flew back to germany before the truck was in the container. The agent didnt check if the van got scanned. The vehicule as a matter of fact was blocked in Buenos Aires and it took them 5 month of nightmare and 14,000 dollars of parking and proceding costs to get the vehicule to Europe, passing thru Uruguay.
