What’s the Difference Between RoRo and Container Shipping?

RoRo essentially means your cargo is rolled onto the ship or ferry at the departure port and then off again at the destination port. The ships and ferries have specially constructed ramps and cargo bays to facilitate this.

Your vehicles or cargo can roll on and off under their power or they can be pushed/pulled using specialist equipment operated by port personnel.

Once the vehicle or cargo is on the vessel, it is secured using blocks, braces, and ties. This ensures it doesn’t move or get damaged during the journey. Also, the cargo areas of the ship are secured to protect your vehicles or other wheeled cargo from the elements.

Container transportation, on the other hand, involves lifting cargo on and off the vessel using a crane. The cargo is usually inside a container.

Secondly, you can’t include personal belongings with a vehicle that is being shipped using the RoRo method. If you need to include personal belongings, you should consider container shipping instead.
