What Is Roll On Roll Off Shipping?
Roll on roll off shipping (RoRo) is a method where vehicles are driven directly onto purpose-built ships, secured inside enclosed decks, and then driven off at the destination port. Unlike container shipping, there is no need for cranes or lifting equipment, making the process faster, safer, and usually cheaper.
RoRo vessels are specially designed to transport cars, buses, trucks, Vans and oversized cargo. Vehicles remain protected from weather and sea conditions, as they are transported on dedicated vehicle decks.
The Advantages of RoRo Shipping
RoRo shipping is a cost-effective and efficient way to transport vehicles overseas. Unlike container shipping, you only pay for the space your vehicle occupies, making it ideal for cars, vans, 4x4s, SUVs, Pickup Trucks, Motorhomes and Light Commercial Vehicles. Vehicles are driven directly on and off purpose-built vessels, reducing handling and transit times. Enclosed decks and secure strapping ensure safety, while frequent sailings from UK ports like Southampton, Tilbury, and Liverpool make this method reliable and convenient.
Is RoRo Shipping Cheaper Than Container Shipping from the UK?
Yes, in most cases, RoRo shipping is more affordable than container shipping because you only pay for the vehicle space, not for a full container.
