What is RoRo transport?
Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) vessels are designed to load and unload vehicles and trailers by rolling them on and off the vessel, without the need for cranes. This method is especially efficient for heavy and bulky cargo such as tractors, construction machinery, wind power components, and other large industrial objects. By rolling the cargo on and off the vessel, time, work, and the risk of damage during loading are minimized.
Benefits of RoRo for high and heavy cargo
For companies dealing with heavy project cargo, RoRo offers several key advantages such as:
-Efficient loading and unloading
RoRo vessels make the process faster and smoother compared to other methods that require cranes and heavy lifting equipment.
-Flexibility for oversized and heavy cargo
RoRo is ideal for transporting large machines and vehicles like bulldozers, tractors, and industry equipment, making it particularly attractive to industries such as construction, mining, and energy.
