This is in contrast to Lift On/Lift Off (LOLO or Lo-Lo) Shipping which refers to car carriers and vessels which use a crane to load and unload cargo.RORO vessels have built-in ramps which allow the cargo to be efficiently "Rolled On" and "Rolled Off" the vessel at the port.

It is important to note that you are usually not allowed to ship personal effects using this method, but spare tire and factory fitted accessories are allowed.
