Understand the shipping method / RORO
RORO describes vehicle movement—not a promise for every route.
Roll-on/roll-off generally means a vehicle is driven on and off a vessel. Actual availability still depends on the route, vessel and booking acceptance.TERMINAL RUNBOOK / 01
Three controls before movement.
The direction is useful for planning; the booking is what authorises a terminal handover.
