Intermodal Freight Facilities Marine Roll on Roll off

Intermodal Freight Facilities Marine Roll on Roll off This feature layer, utilizing data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), displays the major marine roll on-roll off Intermodal freight facilities within the U.S. Per Investopedia, "Businesses use intermodal freight shipping both domestically and internationally because it lessens the amount of handling performed with the cargo during the trip and can reduce costs. Intermodal freight transportation is also a safe and secure method because it eliminates the handling of the freight itself during transportation, which reduces damage and loss, drivers can handle more loads in a shorter period of time, and additional security is provided at terminals, rail tracks, and ramps, which prevents theft." The term roll on/roll off (Ro/Ro) is generally reserved for much larger ocean going cargo vessels but can sometimes be used for smaller ships like ferries. These cargo ships are designed to carry wheeled cargo such as cars, trucks, semi-trailer trucks, trailers, and railroad cars, that are driven on and off the ships on their own wheels. This dataset is one of several layers in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics Intermodal Freight Facility Database.
