They actually float very very high up in the water since almost the entire ship is filled with air instead of cargo! They wind up rolling a _lot_ because of it, too.
i remember ulsan, pusan, kunsan, incheon..... yokohama, nagoya, osaka,hiroshima... car noise, ventilation & smoke all-over.... it was a real nightmare prior each departure from ports, to search for stowaways....12 decks, having onboard about 6400 completely different type of cars, buses, vans, tractors, bulldozers, etc, etc...could be anywhere.... you could not finish search even in one week... i quit for container ships...
For peeps in Norway we do not complain over the freight charge. In the final sea of costs, it is just a drop, the real expense comes when the government want their share of it tax wise. A Corvette C6 bought new in the US, will cost 3 times of its value in the US in taxes ALONE.
In the overseas shipping business, speed is necessary to keep up with demand, they do not hire more personnel than needed as you see the van at around the half way mark is where the drivers gather to be shuttled back to the next group of cars to be leaded. That gives the aboard crew time to tie down the cars and arrange anything for the next round of loading.
joshua cornell: you are wrong. there is no time to be done like that. ship is providing belts for securing cargo on arrival of cars on loading decks. loading & securing of cargo is always done by local stevedores only. crew just check condition of lashing prior departure & while underway. otherwise, crew just assist & monitor cargo operations on different decks.. apart of regular dangers, when you are carrying second hand cars, you may have fire on board due to ever-present fuelleakages. in persian gulf we found daily 85-90 degrees celsius as regular condition under upper decks....finally-we passed in & outward through US Navy blockade & inspection nearby umm qasr port/irak....here, stevedores are carrying long knives & currently they are cutting the lashing belts of cars, instead of usual just slacking down wherever else... i worked 4 years as chief mate on board of such type of ships. otherwise, all is pretty nice here...
endurable actually it is my second Kia suv sportage . i 've been driving the sportage for th e last 13 years after buying it at Ron Tonkin dealerships for $20K, not bad cool investment as i saved thousands of bucks i guess bud
You do not hear it due to acoustics and other noise but the eBrakes are applied, just watch how cars ride in the Amtrak Autorack, they are eBraked but not tied down and nothing gets damaged much as you think. The way they tied down in front is not hurting the suspension an does help with excess sway and pitch. Outside in big waves it may seem like lits of movement but inside the ship its not that excessive.
If the cars were for a right-hand-drive market, would they load the cars from the other side of the ship or do they allow enough room for the driver to get out, between cars?
Shiva Manikkam you see those holes in the ground, these are the lashing points, when a car is parked the labour lashes it from all the tyres to the ground, the heavier the cars the stronger the lashes, for trucks they use steel chains
Wow thats alot of vechicles, next is getting all them vechicles tied down to the floor so the DON‘T MOVE IN BIG WAVES IN A STORM and don‘t cause damage to the vechices
Слаженно работают. А у меня на нашем пароме по маршруту Тояма-В.Восток вечно фирменные коврики пропадали, АКБ и даже одна элегантная пепельница с Тойоты. Сейчас это судно, говорят утилизировали, а японцам уже оплаченный хлам не нужен.
All depends o car manufacturer. For "normal" cars, like those on the video it's just few centimeters, but for let's say Rolls Royce is 1 meter all around. I heard a story (not sure if true) when a car of Queen Elizabeth was shifted from UK to USA, one whole "hold" was usef for only her car. That is approximately 30m x 30m...
geirolje This is not a pure car-carrier, it's a ro/ro-vessel designed for bigger and heavier cargoes than cars and therefore has more height and volume on each deck than a pure car-carrier. The vessel has 6 decks, but the 2 upper decks has extra 'hanging decks' than can be lowered which divide each deck into 2 holds making it suitable for car carriage.
that's exctly what i mean; not only u guys there in Euro but us in N.america or elsewhere; we need relaible inexpensive good quality designed autos in lieu of expensive luxury rollsroyce; only a few can afford to buy RRs/ Mercedes. good deal bud~~~~~~~~ I 'd buy a hyundai or another kia perhaps in 2 years from now. hava good one bud~~~~~~~~
When you purchase a new car and you bitch about why you have to pay the freight charge, this is why. It's not free shipping these cars half way across the world, to you. Not sure why American manufacturers charge so much though? Their freight costs are not as high as Japanese cars.
many people appreciate the kia cars for their reliability, even here in europe, and 20k $ is a very good deal. but, in my opinion, still a little too korean. good car btw.
These lads are well known for racing these cars around!
looks like a big parking garage hard to believe that it floats.
They actually float very very high up in the water since almost the entire ship is filled with air instead of cargo! They wind up rolling a _lot_ because of it, too.
The ship propably needed to load a lot of ballast because the cargo is so light. This ship is built for a lot heavyer stuff.

You can obviously tell this is a well organised shiploading procedure, most likely export cars directly from the factory.
Pretty neat to see this side of it.
They are moving those cars on board and a very fast speed how do they do it without damaging cars?
Very nice video. I embedded it on a blog post.

Latitudinal doors may help to improve Ro-Ro ferry stability, but suitable longitudinal bulkheads are vastly superior to them. Carl Ross.
These drivers are well suited for an Italian Job!
Definitely agree on that.
How much second hand car to be shipped to the philippines?
Is it me, or has the grey car at 1:25 have damage to the rear bumper?
Just the protective sticker is peeling. All good.
They don’t ship new cars only.
Where can i booked a roro , I want to send a car in my country.
And i thought i was the first one to drive my car.
But ya weren’t!
damn they turned the ship into the Daytona 500
they r speeding like it's a more congested Mario cart game

The keys are left inside vehicles?
Yes. Unless you rather try every key to every car.
Good video. Thanks for posting!

Evert
What if it hits the storm??
they strap the front of the cars, but i see no straps in the back, what keeps the cars from creeping forward into the next car ?

No, it's not. It's spelled Incheon and Inchon. Both variants are used. But not Icheon.
This is a good video. :)
If the cars were for a right-hand-drive market, would they load the cars from the other side of the ship or do they allow enough room for the driver to get out, between cars?
Yes, they will load them on the other side
Desert Fox Thanks.
how they're lashing this cars? only with front tires? anyone can explain? is that enough?
Shiva Manikkam you see those holes in the ground, these are the lashing points, when a car is parked the labour lashes it from all the tyres to the ground, the heavier the cars the stronger the lashes, for trucks they use steel chains
this video is best enjoyed at 2x speed
not really. there is a video floating around on the net of nissans being loaded into a ro ro and they were catching air going up the ramps
a hyundao roro ship carryign 7,000 cars sank offthe coast of singapore several years ago
This is how work gets done, I bet you live in Australia or something like that!
And here come the deawoo made Chevy Sparks & aveos!
Are those Sonics and Aveos by Chevrolet?
wow driving them pretty fast, how much damage these cars receive in shipping? and only strapped in the front ???
aaabbbccc543 believe it or not these cars don’t have much if any damage at all. Here and there you will get one.
And if there is any damage, it is fixed at the destination port

Good afternoon. And what is the minimum distance between vehicles in transportation?
All depends o car manufacturer. For "normal" cars, like those on the video it's just few centimeters, but for let's say Rolls Royce is 1 meter all around. I heard a story (not sure if true) when a car of Queen Elizabeth was shifted from UK to USA, one whole "hold" was usef for only her car. That is approximately 30m x 30m...
Desert Fox One hold on this vessel is approximately 230 x 30 m...

Every car must have a pre assigned spot.
With a pre-assigned speed.
Daewoo , good video
That's a good job
Why not restow those 2 Landcruisers and give the gang a quicker & safer drive route and more space for a drive in stow.
i guess the most efficient way to load them is to have a whole bunch of drivers all at once drive them in???
