Rolling Cargo Ro-Ro
Roll-on Roll-off
As freight forwarders, we offer services on Ro-Ro vessels for the transportation of rolling cargo in imports, exports and crosstrade operations. We provide logistics solutions tailored to the needs of the client.
Roll-on Roll-off service
This service allows for the direct loading of rolling cargo onto vessels using ramps and the cargo’s own means. Only self-propelled or towable vehicles that are in working order and do not contain cargo inside are accepted. Unlike ferry service, where the driver travels with the vehicle, Ro-Ro service does not allow passengers.
The shipper will leave the vehicle at the port of loading, where port workers will be responsible for moving the vehicle from the terminal to the interior of the vessel and handling its stowage in the hold, as well as securing it. At the port of discharge, terminal port workers will perform the reverse process.
