Ro-Ro (Roll-On/Roll-Off) Shipping

What is RORO shipping?

RORO shipping is the direct loading and unloading of wheeled vehicles and equipment using a specialized ship's internal ramps. Unlike container shipping, it does not require packaging or lifting, making it well suited to cars, buses and earth-moving machinery.

WOLID coordinates international and coastal RORO cargo through Lagos (Tin Can and Apapa), Onne, Warri and Calabar.
