Roll-on-roll-off (Ro-Ro) shipping and transportation services are now available 24/7 at Jebel Ali Port, with no additional costs to customers. This move by DB World aims to enhance trade in Dubai and the UAE by supporting commercial operations for businesses and shippers.
In the past year, DB World has handled over 6.5 million metric tons of goods using the Ro-Ro system, including bulk shipments and vehicles. Ro-Ro shipping is a safe and reliable method for transporting vehicles, mining equipment, trucks, buses, boats, and agricultural machinery by sea. Unlike container shipping, Ro-Ro ships are designed to accommodate vehicles and cargo that can be driven or towed onto the ship.
One of the main advantages of Ro-Ro shipping is its cost-effectiveness and safety in transporting heavy machinery and equipment. This method is preferred by industries like automotive, mining, and construction because of its efficiency in loading and unloading cargo. Vehicles are carefully driven onto the ship at the origin port and secured during transport.
Roll-on-roll-off shipping is widely used across various industries to transport vehicles, heavy equipment, and project cargo. Special Ro-Ro vessels like car carriers can accommodate a large number of vehicles and non-traditionally sized cargo. These ships provide a smooth and efficient solution for transporting goods
