Car Carrier Ship

A car carrier or car carrier ship is a vessel that has been designed for the transportation of either just cars, or a combination of cars, trucks, buses and other wheeled vehicles. Car carriers are a type of roro ship - which means roll-on, roll-off, as this is how their cargo is loaded and unloaded. The ships that carry only cars are known as pure car carriers (PCC), whilst the vessels that carry various types of four-wheeled cargo are known as pure car truck carriers (PCTC).
