Roll-On/Roll-Off Across U.S.-Mexico Trade Operations
Drive-On Maritime Transport With Controlled Vessel Loading
Roll-On/Roll-Off transport at International Link Logistics manages wheeled cargo movement via specialized vessels designed for direct loading and discharge. Operations in Southern California coordinate port terminal sequencing and vessel intake, while Mexico City teams prepare export-bound vehicles and equipment for maritime departure.
Instead of containerizing cargo, RoRo transport allows vehicles and rolling machinery to be driven directly onto ships using built-in ramp systems. This method reduces handling steps, simplifies loading procedures, and enables efficient maritime movement of self-propelled or towable cargo.
Ramp Loading
Port Operations
Southern California gateway ports manage vessel intake and cargo boarding, while Mexico City oversees export preparation and dispatch to maritime terminals.
Onboard Positioning
Vehicles and equipment are directed into designated vessel zones to maintain load balance and transport stability during sea transit.

Frequently Asked Questions
RoRo transport is used for self-propelled vehicles, trailers, and wheeled equipment that can be driven or towed onto a vessel. It is commonly used for automobiles, machinery, and transport equipment.
RoRo cargo is loaded directly onto vessels using ramps, eliminating the need for container packing and crane handling. This reduces loading time and handling-related exposure.
RoRo is preferred when cargo is wheeled, oversized, or difficult to containerize. It is also used when direct loading and unloading improve efficiency or reduce handling risk.
