RoRo vessels (Roll on Roll off) enable the self-driven transportable objects to be loaded or unloaded via harbor ramps or the ship’s ramp. This reduces the cargo handling time, enables a smooth transshipment of cargo and offers greater flexibility in cargo composition.
The higher manufacturing costs are a disadvantage, since RoRo vessels are special vessels and thus the limited market influences the costs for building such vessels.
