Ocean going Ro-Ro ferry
Selected destinations are served by ocean going, roll on-roll off car ferry (RO-RO) services. These are purposely-built car carriers, used by manufacturers to deliver brand new vehicles the world over. The cars are protected from the elements and secured within enclosed car decks by straps and chocks to tie points. This service is less popular than container shipment, but can be more cost effective for certain routes.
What is Ro-Ro
A term for roll-on roll-off cargo, which is driven on and off the vessel. RO-RO cargo comprises cars, tractors, buses and trucks, or oversized cargo loaded on special flatbed, lowboy trailers.
Why Ro-Ro
>Undeniably the safest and most inexpensive way to handle and transport oversized or special project cargo.
>Shipments are moved as a unit, using specialized trailers from origin to port to destination.
>Less physical handling ensures there is no need for costly dismantling and reassembly.
>No exposure to water or the elements as the cargo is always secured in the RO-RO vessel’s enclosed garage deck for the entire voyage.
>RO-RO vessels are capable of safely shipping automobiles, trucks, buses, bulldozers and other heavy vehicles. The damage prevention techniques inherent in this shipment method are rated as the most advanced in the industry.
