Understanding Odd Dimension Cargo and RORO

Odd dimension Cargo includes materials that are used for projects in various industries and sectors like oil, gas and agriculture. Any material which is above the standard measurement for general Cargo is called Odd dimension Cargo. Out of Gauge Cargo or OOG refers to Cargo which far exceeds the dimensions of a normal shipping container of the dimension 20/40’ by length width and height, which need special equipments for loading and transporting.

The RORO shipping stands for Roll-on/ Roll-off and refers to the carriers which are used to carry vehicles or wheeled Cargo. These ships are specially designed with built in ramps to allow cars and other vehicles to easily slide in and out of the ship. The RORO vessels are of different types and includes Pure Car Carrier (PCC), Pure Car and Truck carrier (PCTC), and Container Vessel + RORO(CONRO). The RORO vessels are very important as they save time. Special attention is required for this type of shipping as the possible damage could be huge in terms of finance which may affect the business badly.
