Roll-On/Roll-Off (RoRo) Shipping

RoRo shipping, which stands for Roll-On/Roll-Off, is a specialized freight transport method for wheeled cargo such as vehicles, trucks, trailers, and heavy equipment. Instead of being carried by cranes, cars are driven aboard and off the vessel via built-in ramps. This approach is especially effective for transporting huge amounts of automobile goods or machinery across oceans, with faster loading and unloading periods than containerized shipping.

RoRo ships are built with numerous decks and internal ramps to carry cargo of varying sizes and heights. This method of shipment eliminates the danger of damage caused by crane lifting and is commonly utilized in international automotive logistics. For freight forwarders, RoRo provides a cost-effective and operationally straightforward alternative for moving drivable cargo. When integrated with solutions such as CargoWise, RoRo logistics can be tracked and controlled smoothly, from booking to delivery, resulting in improved visibility and coordination throughout the supply chain.
