Ocean Transport
What is the difference between ocean container shipping and roll-on roll-off shipping?
With ocean container shipping the cargo is loaded inside the metal containers and containers are transported by ocean vessel carriers. The containers have the standard sizes throughout the world and the most common ones are 20' long containers and 40' long containers. International container transportation is widely available to most of the ocean ports worldwide.
With roll-on roll-off ocean shipping no containers are used. Ro/Ro ships are designed as enclosed parking garages with multiple leveles. They are used for carrying vehicles, boats, trailers, machinery, contruction equipment, etc. The cargo is rolled on the ship at the port of loading and rolled off the ship at the port of discharge.
