RORO SHIP, also known as the "open and close" ship, or "roll on and off" ship, is a specialized ship that transports powered vehicles and engineering machinery products, and can also be transported by tractors. A semi-trailer or a wheeled pallet with items such as groceries.

BULK SHIP mainly ships into bags, boxes and bundles of groceries. Currently used general cargo ships have 1-2 decks, 4-6 cargo tanks, 25-30 tons of ship cranes, and some of them can lift more than 150 tons.

Compared with general cargo ships, ro-ro ships have high loading and unloading efficiency, which can save a lot of loading and unloading labor and reduce the time for vessels to dock. Therefore, the ro-ro vessels are relatively stable and generally do not experience large delays or delays. In addition, because the cargo can be directly driven into the cabin, it is not necessary to use the crane for loading and unloading, which reduces the cargo loss in the process of loading and unloading and transportation. In addition, there is no need for lifting equipment on both the ship and the shore. Even if the port facilities are in poor condition, the ro-ro ship can be loaded and unloaded with high efficiency.

The construction costs and operating costs of general cargo ships are lower than those of ro-ro ships, making them more attractive freight rates than ro-ro vessels. However, due to the large impact of weather, port facilities and other factors, the loading and unloading efficiency is low and there are often delays. Therefore, the general cargo ship's schedule is not stable, which is generally a 5-10 day loading period (LAYCAN). . And due to the need to use the crane for loading and unloading, compared to the ro-ro ship is easy to produce damage during loading and unloading. In addition, as some of the goods are placed on the deck, it is inevitable to encounter wind and waves during the sea transport, making the cargo more susceptible to rust.

It is recommended by Huasheng Tiancheng International Korea, which specializes in the export of ro-ro cargo for the export of vehicles and construction machinery equipment, that if the exporter chooses to use a ro-ro ship or a general cargo ship, if the delivery time is tight and the cost permits, the ro-ro shipping is preferred. , If you want to control the cost and have a more prosperous delivery period, you can choose general cargo shipping.
