Roll on - Roll off ferry....container trailers loaded via own tractor or ports tractor. Even a car ferry is a roro vessel.

Would you give anyone your last Rolo?? :grin:

Or would you boot them senseless for having the effrontery to ask for the best sweet in the world ever when you've only got one left??

I'm tightening my laces now and you can't even get them here... :evil:

Yes....The Herald Of Free Enterprise. That RoRo'd a bit too far! :shock:

Mind what an inspiring name for a ship. We all love Maggie on here don't we? :evil:
