Cargo & RORO
Up the ramp, lashed down, across by morning.
Motorcycles to ten-wheelers roll straight on at the stern ramp and straight off in Leyte, Biliran and Samar — on the same sailings our passengers take.
Illustrative image of night loading over the stern ramp. Roble vessels are RORO: nothing is craned, and nothing is crated to get aboard.
