RoRo (Roll On – Roll Off Transport) ship

RoRo is short for 'Roll-on, Roll-off', which describes how products are loaded and discharged from a vessel. RoRo allows your products to roll on and off the vessel, as opposed to being lifted onboard using cranes. RORO ships are ships equipped with a mobile access ramp allowing the loading and unloading of the goods by towing between the edge and the wharf. ... They are fast and allow short loading / unloading times. Roll-on/roll-off (RORO or ro-ro) ships are  designed to carry wheeled cargo, such as cars, trucks, semi-trailer trucks, buses, trailers, and railroad cars, that are driven on and off the ship on their own wheels or using a platform vehicle, such as a self-propelled modular transporter.
