Roll-on/Roll-off

Roll-on/Roll-off Meaning

Is a shipping method where vehicles are transported by vessels that allow them to be rolled on at the port of origin and rolled off at the destination. This method is particularly useful for the shipment of cars, trucks, trailers, and heavy machinery that can be driven onto the ship. For instance, an automotive manufacturer looking to export cars from Japan to the United States would benefit significantly from RoRo services. The freight forwarder managing this shipment would choose RoRo for its efficiency in handling large volumes of vehicles, reducing the need for cranes and packaging, and minimising potential damage during loading and unloading offering a specialised alternative that enhances the global trade of vehicles and heavy equipment by ensuring safe and speedy delivery.
