What is RoRo shipping?
Roro (roll-on-roll-off) is a term mostly used in shipping. Roro shipping is a safe and reliable way of transporting vehicles, mining equipment, trucks, buses, boats, and agricultural machinery overseas by sea. Unlike container shipping, roro vessels are designed to accommodate cars and rolling cargo by allowing them to be driven or towed on and off the boat using rolltrailers. These vessels have dedicated ramps and parking areas to facilitate the efficient loading and unloading of cargo. It is considered the safest and cheapest way of heavy equipment transportation due to the easiness of loading and unloading. The cost of roro transportation is usually cheaper than the cost of a single container. This makes roro shipping the preferred choice of transportation for a wide range of industries, from automotive, and mining, to construction.
When is RORO shipping used?
Roll-on-roll-off shipping is used by various industries including the automotive industry to transport new and used cars, buses, trucks, trams, and other vehicles as it’s considered a safe, efficient, and cost-effective way of moving large numbers of vehicles across continents.
This form of shipping is also used by the mining and construction industry to transport plant and heavy machinery and equipment. This includes bulldozers, excavators, cranes, and other oversized vehicles that can be driven onto the vessel.
Roro shipping is also ideal for project cargo as it allows for the transportation of oversized cargo that may not fit traditional containers.
Lastly, roro shipping is also used for the transportation of emergency vehicles. Roro vessels provide a quick and efficient way to transport vehicles, equipment, and supplies to areas affected by natural disasters
Flat Rack Loading
Flat rack containers are especially suitable for heavy loads and cargo that needs loading from the top or sides, such as pipes and machinery. You will find collapsible containers and non-collapsible containers with or without walls. A little bit of terminology:
Out of gauge Cargo (OOG) : Cargo that extends over and above the standard measurement of a General Purpose container. OOG cargo is normally carried in Open Top containers (OT), Flat Racks (FR), Platforms (PL) due to the nature and size of the cargo.
Types of Out of gauge Cargo (OOG):
Open Top Container – comes in 20’ & 40′ – Used for cargo that cannot be easily loaded through the door and needs to be loaded from the top. The cargo could also be ingauge. This type of container is also used for loading cargoes that are over high. Used for the carriage of cargoes like machinery, steel or cement pipes, glass etc.
Flat Rack Container – comes in 20′ & 40′ – Used for cargo that is over width, over length and/or over high or cargo that cannot be loaded through the top like an OT or through the door (cargo may also be within gauge).
Big machinery, vehicles on tracks, big reels etc can be loaded on this type of container. The cargo could also be ingauge, but is heavy and requires a forklift to load it. In certain types of flat racks, the ends can also be folded – and they are known as Collapsible Flat Racks (COFL) also known as Platform.
Super-Rack container – Similar in use as a Flat Rack container but with a BIG difference. The difference is that in a Super Rack container, the corner posts can be extended upwards to increase the height. This is most useful when you have over high cargo.
Generally when you load an over high cargo on a Flat Rack, slings will need to be used to lift the container as the spreader cant lock onto the corner posts.
