RO-RO. short for roll-on/roll-off; the vehicle is driven directly onto the cargo ship, which is specifically designed to carry wheeled vehicles. * RO-RO shipment can be more economic, expedient, and easier than container shipment. It allows for direct drop-off and pick-up at the appropriate port.
20/40 FT. CONTAINER. typically for orders of one or more vehicles; the vehicle is packed into a container of either 20 or 40 ft. in length, depending on the load. The container is then lifted onto the cargo ship and lifted off when it reaches its destination. * Container shipment can be safer and more secure. It also has larger geographical coverage than RO-RO lines.
