roll-on/roll-off (RoRo)

Roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) is a method of transporting vehicles and large goods via ships designed with ramps. Vehicles are driven directly onto the vessel at loading ports and driven off at the destination, allowing for efficient handling of cars, trucks, and heavy machinery. This system minimizes the need for cranes or lifting equipment, reducing loading and unloading times. RoRo shipping is widely used for international vehicle trade, offering a cost-effective, safe, and streamlined way to move large quantities of vehicles across water routes.
