Ro-Ro cargo ships


Ro-Ro is the way of cargo shipping, which comes from the expression “roll-on/roll-off”, which describes a vessel transporting wheeled cargo, like cars, trucks, buses, trailers or industrial vehicles.

This kind of ships have built-in ramps on their bow or stern (the ramps can also be on land) to make the loading and unloading of the wheeled cargo much easier than if it was done with a crane (lift-on/lift-off vessels)

Ro-Ro vessels advantages


Less cargo handling. Due to the lack of loading and unloading at port, there is less risk of accidents and cargo damage.

Speed: Vehicles those can be directly driven into the vessel or land through the ramps making the loading and unloading process more quick and agile.

Time saving: Being able to cut through loading and unloading procedures enables the trucks and vehicles to land just minutes after docking and continue with their route to their destination, improving on their delivery time.
