Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) is a method of transporting wheeled vehicles by ship. Automobiles, trucks, trailers, and other motor vehicles are safely transported between ports using Ro-Ro ships. It is based on the principle that vehicles enter and exit the ship on their own wheels via a ramp, making it a fast and practical type of maritime transportation.

A Ro-Ro ship is a vessel with a special design that allows wheeled vehicles (such as trucks, lorries, buses, trailers, and cars) to enter and exit the ship via ramps. It speeds up loading and unloading processes, saving time.
PCTC (Pure Car and Truck Carrier) are specially designed ships primarily used for transporting cars and trucks. The second type, ConRo (Container-RoRo), has the capacity to carry containers and vehicles, offering logistical flexibility.
Another type is RoPax ships. These vessels can carry both passengers and vehicles and are commonly used on ferry routes. Each type of Ro-Ro ship is designed to meet different transportation needs.
Ro-Ro transportation is an ideal solution especially for logistics companies, automotive manufacturers, vehicle rental companies, and international shipping firms involved in import/export. It facilitates the loading of wheeled vehicles onto ships, providing significant advantages in overseas shipments. The loading and unloading processes are carried out quickly and efficiently.
Companies managing fleets, those involved in large construction and infrastructure projects, and sectors with specialized equipment and vehicles also frequently require Ro-Ro transportation. Ro-Ro ships are an excellent option for the safe transport of construction machinery, heavy loads, and specialized equipment.
Ro-Ro transportation offers significant advantages to the logistics sector thanks to its rapid loading and unloading processes. Lower costs and shorter port times make this transportation model attractive. Since vehicles move on their own wheels, it requires less labor, and it is more environmentally friendly compared to road transport, contributing to sustainability.
However, there are some disadvantages. Its suitability is limited to wheeled vehicles, restricting its usage scope. Limited port and route options reduce operational flexibility. Additionally, delays may occur in some countries due to infrastructure and customs procedures, complicating scheduling.
Loading onto Ro-Ro ships is a quick and straightforward process, unlike container ships. Vehicles are driven onto the ship via ramps using their own wheels. Experienced personnel carefully guide the vehicles during loading. The vehicles are placed on different decks of the ship in sequence and secured with special lashing systems. This ensures the safety of vehicles during long sea voyages.
