Roll on - Roll off (RoRo)

Containerized    |     Roll on Roll off    |    Boat Transport

From cars to airplanes
Roll-On, Roll-Off also known as RO/RO was an innovation that evolved from ferries and now is revolutionizing the vehicle transport industry worldwide. Ro/Ro ships carry a wide variety of rolling and non-rolling cargo including cars, trucks, buses, construction equipment, and project cargo. The cargo is driven on to (rolled on) the vessel and then simply driven off (rolled off) at the destination port.

Purpose-built car carriers are used by most car manufacturers to deliver brand new vehicles around the world. Cars are protected from the elements in enclosed car decks and are secured by straps and chocks. Service frequency is usually once or twice a month and the transit time is sometimes longer than container vessels, but there can be useful cost savings on some routes over container shipment.

Note:
If your vehicle is being shipped by RO/RO service, then the car has to be completely empty. Spare parts, household and personal goods are not allowed inside your vehicle.
