Gigantic RoRo Ship "ARK Germania" Unloading Military Vehicles and Tanks - NATO

Описание: #unitedstates #usmilitary #nato #navyship

ARK GERMANIA is a Ro-Ro Cargo that was built in 2012 (11 years ago) and is sailing under the flag of Denmark. Her carrying capacity is 25000 Gross Tonnage and her current draught is reported to be 6.5 meters. Her length overall (LOA) is 195.2 meters and her width is 30.5 meters.

Roll-on/roll-off (RORO or ro-ro) ships are cargo ships designed to carry wheeled cargo, such as cars, motorcycles, trucks, semi-trailer trucks, buses, trailers, and railroad cars, that are driven on and off the ship on their own wheels or using a platform vehicle, such as a self-propelled modular transporter. This is in contrast to lift-on/lift-off (LoLo) vessels, which use a crane to load and unload cargo.

RORO vessels have either built-in or shore-based ramps or ferry slips that allow the cargo to be efficiently rolled on and off the vessel when in port. While smaller ferries that operate across rivers and other short distances often have built-in ramps, the term RORO is generally reserved for large seafaring vessels. The ramps and doors may be located in the stern, bow, or sides, or any combination thereof.
