Understanding Roll On – Roll Off (Ro-Ro) Shipping
Roll-On/Roll-Off (RoRo) shipping is a method of transporting wheeled cargo—such as cars, trucks, trailers, and heavy machinery—using specialised vessels designed for efficiency and security. Unlike container shipping, RoRo allows vehicles and machinery to be driven directly onto the vessel and secured for transport, simplifying the loading and unloading process. This makes it a preferred choice for handling large, mobile, or self-propelled cargo.
Cargo Specifications: Why RoRo is the Ideal Solution
RoRo shipping is specifically tailored for cargo that:
- Is mobile or can be made mobile with attachments.
- Exceeds the dimensions of standard shipping containers (20-foot or 40-foot containers).
- Includes vehicles, machinery, or large equipment that is difficult or costly to dismantle.
For oversized or over-dimensional items—such as construction equipment, mining machinery, or agricultural vehicles—RoRo shipping provides a cost-effective alternative. By eliminating the need for disassembly, reassembly, and specialised handling equipment, this method reduces logistical complexities and speeds up delivery times.
How RoRo Ships Work
Specialised RoRo vessels are designed with the following features:
- Ramps and Decks: These ships are equipped with ramps (at the bow, stern, or side) that allow wheeled cargo to roll on and off with ease. Internal ramps and multiple decks facilitate efficient stowage.
- Secure Cargo Storage: Vehicles and machinery are securely lashed to the deck to prevent movement during transit.
- High Cargo Capacity: RoRo ships can accommodate a large number of vehicles and machinery of various sizes, including oversized cargo.
How to Prepare Your Cargo for RoRo Shipping
Follow these steps to get your cargo ready for RoRo shipping:
- Clean Your Cargo: Ensure your vehicle or equipment is clean to meet customs and quarantine regulations.
- Remove Personal Items: Clear out any personal belongings to avoid damage or delays.
- Perform a Maintenance Check: Check for fluid leaks, secure the battery, and ensure tires are properly inflated.
- Adjust Fuel Level: Keep the tank at a quarter full or less for safety.
- Prepare Documentation: Have all required documents ready, including the title, registration, and export/import paperwork.
