Whether you're shipping a single unit or a fleet, RORO offers simplicity, speed, and minimal handling.

What is RORO Shipping?

RORO is a type of ocean freight where cargo is wheeled or self-propelled, and is driven directly on and off the ship using built-in ramps. No cranes or containers are needed, making this method ideal for transporting:

  • Passenger vehicles
  • Commercial trucks and vans
  • Construction and agricultural equipment
  • Buses, trailers, and RVs
  • Military and specialty vehicles
  • Rolling project cargo (modular units, airport stairs, etc.)

Advantages of RORO:

  • No containerization required
  • Minimal handling = reduced risk of damage
  • Fast loading/unloading process
  • Ideal for heavy and wheeled equipment
  • Cost-effective for large vehicles
  • Direct port-to-port movement
