Roll-on/roll-off
Roll-on/roll-off
(
RORO
or
ro-ro
)
ships
are vessels designed to carry wheeled
cargo
, such as
cars
,
trucks
,
semi-trailer trucks
,
trailers
, and
railroad cars
, that are driven on and off the ship on their own wheels or using a platform vehicle, such as a
self-propelled modular transporter
. This is in contrast to
lift-on/lift-off
(LoLo) vessels, which use a
crane
to load and unload cargo.
