Roll-on Roll-off Cargo

Ro Ro Cargo

IT'S OUR SPECIALTY AND WE'RE ON A ROLL

Ro Ro

Baltimore handles more Roll On/Roll Off farm and construction machinery as well as autos and light trucks than any other U.S. port.

Baltimore handles the majority of the U.S. East coast market's share of Ro/Ro cargo annually.
Ro/Ro, self-propelled on and off a ship, is expensive to move, accommodate and requires special care. Our highly skilled labor force ensures that our Ro/Ro is handled more carefully here than at any other port.
Baltimore's proximity to the Midwest's major farm and construction equipment manufacturers has helped it become the leading U.S. port for combines, tractors, hay balers and in importing excavators and backhoes.
Reaffirming our position as the top U.S. Ro/Ro port, Baltimore serves as the East Coast hub for the largest Ro/Ro carrier in the world.

Skill: Baltimore prides itself on one of the lowest cargo damage rates in the country. And we keep getting better. The port's "Ro/Ro Rodeo" rounds up manufacturers to teach labor the unique handling and operational requirements for each type of vehicle. A full-time daily Ro/Ro training program for specific farm and construction equipment has also commenced.
Capacity: The Port's facilities handle more and more Ro/Ro cargo every year. Nearly 200 acres of pavement at Dundalk Marine Terminal keep us ready to handle more Ro/Ro equipment than competing ports.
Geography: With our strategic inland location, Baltimore has a distinct advantage. The Port of Baltimore is within an overnight drive of two-thirds of the U.S. population and is closer to the Midwest than any other U.S. East Coast port.
Quality: Year after year we deliver on our promise to have the lowest damage rate on Ro/Ro cargo in the country. Baltimore smoothly and efficiently handles more Ro/Ro cargo than any other port in the U.S. with the only Quality Cargo Handling Action Team(QCHAT) for Ro/Ro. Our team is comprised of labor, management and service providers that meet monthly to assess performance, identify problems and take corrective action.
