Ro-Ro (short for Roll-on/Roll-off) in the travel context refers to a type of ship or ferry designed to carry wheeled cargo, such as cars, trucks, and trailers, that are driven on and off the vessel on their own wheels. This method of cargo handling contrasts with traditional lift-on/lift-off ships that require cranes to load and unload goods. Ro-Ro ferries are commonly used for transporting vehicles and passengers across bodies of Water, providing an essential link in many regional and international transport networks.
