{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DefinedTerm","name":"Lift-on/Lift-off (LoLo) cargo vessel operations","description":"Unlike roll-on/roll-off (RoRo), where cargo boards a vessel under its own power, Lift-on/Lift-off (LoLo) moves all freight exclusively by vertical crane lift – onto the ship and back off again. The method applies to containerized cargo, breakbulk, heavy-lift, and project shipments wherever ramp access is unavailable or cargo cannot self-propel. Freight forwarders and ship planners must pre-arrange crane windows, spreaders or slings, and stevedoring crews, adding to port costs relative to RoRo.
