Ro-Ro Vessels are suitable for cargo with wheels that can be driven onto the ship under their own power, mainly including:

• Passenger Vehicles: sedans, SUVs, MPVs, and all types of passenger cars;
• Commercial Vehicles: buses, coaches, trucks, tractors, vans, etc.;
• Construction Machinery: excavators, loaders, road rollers, bulldozers, cranes, pavers, etc.;
• Agricultural Machinery: tractors, harvesters, rice transplanters, etc.;
• Other Wheeled Equipment: airport ground support equipment, military vehicles, special purpose vehicles, etc.

Advantages of Ro-Ro shipping: high loading/unloading efficiency, low cargo damage (no lifting required), clean bills of lading, ideal for large-batch vehicle transport, and vehicles can be driven directly into the cargo deck and secured.

Break-Bulk / Heavy Lift Vessels are suitable for cargo that cannot be driven into the vessel, mainly including:

• Non-self-propelled Large Equipment: generator sets, transformers, compressors, large machine tools, etc.;
• Wind Power Equipment: wind turbine blades (typically 60–80m), towers, nacelles, hubs, etc.;
• Steel Structures: large steel structures, bridge modules, port machinery, etc.;
• Extra-Long/Wide/High Cargo: over-dimensional oversized cargo that cannot fit in containers and cannot be rolled on/off;
• Yachts & Small Vessels: all types of yachts, fishing boats, work boats, etc.;
• Project Logistics Oversized Cargo: petrochemical equipment, mining equipment, nuclear power equipment, etc.

Advantages of break-bulk shipping: not limited by cargo dimensions or shapes, equipped with ship's cranes for self-loading/unloading, can operate at ports with inadequate facilities, and suitable for various special project logistics needs.
