One of our business activities is a transportation of various Ro-Ro cargos worldwide. We know how to handle Ro-Ro and we do like dealing with sophisticated oversized project cargoes. We can offer our customers best Ro-Ro tariffs and required terms for their projects.
What is Ro-Ro?
Roll-on/roll-off (RORO or Ro-Ro) ships are vessels designed to carry wheeled cargo, such as automobiles, trucks, semi-trailer trucks, trailers, and railroad cars, that are driven on and off the ship on their own wheels or using a platform vehicle, such as a self-propelled modular transporter. This is in contrast to lift-on/lift-off (LoLo) vessels, which use a crane to load and unload cargo. RORO vessels have built-in ramps that allow the cargo to be efficiently rolled on and off the vessel when in port.
