Roll-On/Roll-Off (RO/RO) ship is specifically designed to carry
wheeled and tracked vehicles as all or most of its cargo. Vehicles
are driven on and off the ship by means of the ship's own ramps and
are safely stowed and secured under deck. Below-deck space and
volume utilization is more efficient than on a container ship,
because RO/RO Carriers are designed to accommodate cargoes which
cannot be stacked but which vary in height.
