VEHICLE SHIPPING

Advantages of a ro-ro ship

A ro-ro ship offers a number of advantages over traditional ships.

Some of the advantages are as follows:

1. For the shipper, the advantage is speed. Since cars and lorries can drive straight onto the ship at one port, and then drive onto the other port within a few minutes of the ship docking, it saves a lot of time for the shipper.

2. It can also integrate well with other transport development, such as containers. The use of Customs-sealed units has enabled frontiers to cross with minimum delay. Therefore, it increases the speed and efficiency for the shipper.

3. The ship has also proved extremely popular with holiday-makers and private car owners. It has significantly contributed to the growth of tourism. A person can take their car from country to country by sea with the help of a ro-ro vessel.
