What is roll on roll off?

Roll on roll off (RoRo) is a type of shipping service where rolling cargo is transported on specially designed ships. This type of cargo mainly includes vehicles and equipment that can independently move on and off the ships.

The RoRo ships are designed with ramps that enable the cargo to be rolled on and off the vessel directly to the pier or dock. This means that no cranes or other specialized equipment are necessary to load and unload the cargo, making it a time-saving and cost-effective method of transportation.

RoRo ships come in various sizes and are equipped to handle different types of cargoes, including passenger vehicles, trucks, heavy machinery, and construction equipment. The cargo is usually secured to the deck of the ship to ensure it remains stable during transit.

RoRo shipping has gained popularity in recent years because of the convenience it offers compared to other methods of transportation. It is commonly used for international shipping, providing fast and efficient transport of goods across the world.
