Ro-Ro: traffic that rolls on and off.

Ro-Ro means roll-on/roll-off. It describes vessels and services where vehicles or other rolling units are driven or moved on and off through ramps.

Passenger and freight traffic

A Ro-Ro service can carry passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles or other rolling cargo. The booking information and commercial conditions depend on the traffic carried.

Ferry loading ramp and vehicle deck

The ramp connects different traffic types

A Ro-Ro operation may carry cars, commercial vehicles or other rolling units. The shared physical principle does not make their booking requirements identical. Accompanying people, dimensions, commercial terms and any specialist cargo information need to match the traffic carried. The booking workflow supports that preparation while the vessel team controls loading.

  • Roll-on/roll-off describes the loading method
  • Traffic types need different booking information
  • Specialist cargo rules require a defined scope

What the booking needs

Vehicle category, relevant dimensions and accompanying people may all matter. Specialist cargo restrictions, physical loading and external logistics documentation remain separate requirements to assess.
