Welcome to Apsshipbrokers comprehensive guide for purchasing used RoRo (Roll-On/Roll-Off) ships. Whether you are an automotive logistics operator, project cargo carrier, defense contractor, or fleet owner expanding into RoRo trades, we offer a wide selection of quality pre-owned RoRo vessels. Our listings range from small RoRo ferries and coastal carriers to large PCTC and high-capacity automotive RoRo ships operating on global trade routes.
The used RoRo vessel market provides buyers with immediate access to proven tonnage without the long lead times associated with newbuildings. RoRo ships are specialized assets designed for wheeled cargo such as cars, trucks, trailers, heavy machinery, and military equipment. Demand is driven by global automotive production, project cargo movements, and regional short-sea trades.
Typically operating on short-sea routes, island trades, and regional connections. These vessels feature shallow drafts, simple ramp systems, and flexible deck layouts, making them ideal for ports with limited infrastructure.
Designed for regional trades and feeder services, these vessels handle mixed cargo including trailers, cars, and light project cargo. Many are equipped with stern or side ramps for efficient turnaround times.
The most versatile segment of the RoRo market, handysize RoRo vessels transport cars, trucks, buses, construction equipment, and rolling stock. Their flexible deck heights and multiple ramp options allow access to a wide range of terminals.
Built for international trades, large RoRo vessels feature multiple cargo decks, advanced ramp systems, and high lane meter capacity. These ships serve major automotive and project cargo routes worldwide.
PCC vessels are purpose-built for transporting passenger vehicles only. Capacity is measured in Car Equivalent Units (CEU), typically ranging from 2,000 to 6,000 CEU. These vessels maximize efficiency for automotive logistics.
PCTCs are the most flexible automotive RoRo vessels, capable of carrying cars, trucks, buses, and high & heavy cargo. Modern PCTCs range from 4,000 to 8,000+ CEU and dominate long-haul automotive trades.
RoRo vessels are measured primarily by total lane meters (LM). Small vessels may offer 1,500–3,000 LM, while large RoRo and PCTC vessels exceed 6,000–8,000+ LM. Adjustable and hoistable decks significantly enhance cargo flexibility.
SS/DD status heavily impacts RoRo vessel pricing due to the complexity of ramp systems, hydraulics, and fire safety equipment.
