Marketing - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / automotive
English term or phrase: RO/RO
(Comp.) has contractual agreements with RO/RO and container ocean carriers ...

I found one suggestion in Acr.finder: Roll-on/roll-off.
I wonder if it may mean ombordføring/kjøring-ilandføring/kjøring?
Or are there other expressions any of you know of?

Thank you for a quick and helpful answer! I find it a bit too 'technical' to use just "ro-ro-skip" considering the type of text I am translating. I think "skip med horisontalinnlasting" er mer forklarende for menigmann.

'Ro-ro' får så liten betydning på norsk i en slik sammenheng.
Men, takk for forslagene til dere alle. Det varmer godt i på en iskald ettermiddag.

agree  Roald Toskedal: Ja, disse skipene har svære porter på kainivå, med lemmer/ramper sliks at lastebiler eller trucker kan kjøre rett inn i lasterommet. Porten kan enten være i skipssiden eller i akterenden. Sideporter har man stort sett gått bort fra, da de var farlige.

Ro-ro-skip


Explanation:
Oversettes vanligvis ikke. Roll-on/roll-off er en betegnelse på f.eks. ferger der biler og lastebiler kjører rett inn og ut, dvs. horisontalt, i motsetning til vanlige lasteskip.

Explanation:
Norsk terminologi er ofte på engelsk når det gjelder shipping. Hvis du bruker noe annet enn RO-RO, vil de sannsynligvis ikke forstå hva du mener.
