Roll-on/Roll-off terminals

Roll-on/Roll-off (Ro-Ro) terminals are specialized ports designed for vehicles to directly drive on and off ships. They handle cargo such as cars, trucks, and heavy machinery, which are driven into the ship via ramps. This process speeds up loading and unloading, making it efficient for transporting large quantities of wheeled goods. Ro-Ro terminals typically have infrastructure like ramps and storage areas tailored to accommodate vehicles safely. They facilitate international and domestic trade by providing a streamlined way to move vehicles and machinery across waterways without the need for complex lifting operations.
