RORO | ROLL ON ROLL OFF

AES Port facilitates an impressive “Roll On Roll Off” facility known as berth 4 which is located at the southern end of the port. The facility spans 40 meters of clear ramp which is paved for added traction and safe handling of mobile equipment from shore to ship and vice versa. Bollards are conveniently positioned providing secure lashing on vessels. In addition to this, RORO Berth 4 is positioned perpendicular to Berth 3 which allows for our shore cranes to load from port side of vessels, this situation provides for efficient loading when both RORO and Containerised cargo are required to be loaded on the same vessel and removing the delays of moving the vessel from one berth to another.
