What is a roll on roll off?

A roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) is a type of ship designed for the efficient transportation of wheeled cargo, such as cars, trucks, and trailers. Vehicles can be driven directly onto the ship via ramps and then secured for transit, making loading and unloading quick and straightforward. This method reduces the need for cranes and enhances the speed of cargo operations, making it popular for shipping vehicles across oceans. RoRo ships are commonly used in trade routes that require flexible and rapid transport solutions.
