Timber / Paper / Steel

Ship's roll trailers are used for the sea transport of all types of break bulk cargo such as timber, paper and steel.

Typical capacity of each 12m roll trailer is 80 tonnes and up to 120m³, providing a cost effective method of transport. Roll-trailers up to 18m and 100 tonnes capacity are available. Loading of cargo to the trailers is by fork lift truck, and once loaded the cargo is not handled. This is a cargo-friendly system less susceptible to damage than conventional vessel loading and securing.

As only small quantities of cargo are needed to fill each roll trailer, shipment can be made regularly and in small volumes. This avoids the need to consolidate cargo for larger volume shipments, reducing delay and working capital employed.
