RoRo Ferries and Cargo Ships for Sale and Charter
Roll-on/roll-off vessels for freight operators and short-sea lines, listed by stock number with lane meters, tonnage and location
Roll-on/roll-off vessels carry trucks, trailers, cars and project cargo on their own wheels, with anything from a dozen driver berths to a few hundred passengers. QPS Marine Ships brokers RoRo and RoRo/passenger tonnage for sale and charter for freight operators, short-sea lines, governments and project logistics companies.
Listings are published by QPS stock number with the specifications a freight operator needs: lane meters, clear deck height where known, gross tonnage, length, passenger and cabin numbers, class, flag, build and lengthening dates and last known location. Identity is disclosed to qualified buyers under a non-disclosure agreement, and prices are our estimate after speaking directly with the owner.
Current RoRo listings
A 174 m RoRo cargo and passenger ferry with 1,950 lane meters and 51 passenger berths is offered for sale or charter (S2741). A 179 m RoRo passenger ferry of 22,986 GT with 1,925 lane meters and 77 cabins is also available for sale or charter (S2745). For smaller budgets, a 7,628 GT RoRo ferry cargo ship built in 1977 and lengthened in 1982, located in the Black Sea near Turkey, is for sale (S2757).
RoRo or RoPax?
The line between the two is passenger certificate and accommodation. If your route needs to carry more than a handful of drivers, or you want cabin revenue on an overnight crossing, our RoPax Ferries page is the better starting point. If freight is the business and passengers are incidental, the vessels on this page will be more efficient to run.
How QPS works on a RoRo transaction
We start from your route and cargo mix: lane meters and deck strength needed, ramp and linkspan arrangements at each port, draft, speed and fuel, and the class and flag the trade requires. We then shortlist from listed and off-market tonnage, arrange inspections and class record reviews, and negotiate the memorandum of agreement and delivery with the owner. QPS Marine Ships is a licensed and bonded brokerage with offices in Florida and the Mediterranean and associates worldwide.
