What is RORO Shipping?
RORO, or Roll-On Roll-Off, is one of the most efficient and widely used methods for shipping vehicles overseas. Unlike container shipping, where cars must be lifted and secured inside a container, RORO vessels are equipped with built-in ramps. Vehicles are simply driven onto the vessel at the departure port and driven off upon arrival.
This process reduces handling, minimizes risk of damage, and speeds up loading and unloading times—making it ideal for shipping cars, trucks, buses, and even heavy machinery.
