RORO truck ship

Concept

Medium Size Truck carrier

Truck Carriers using Roll-on Roll-off architecture may also be wind-propelled.

By working on the overall architecture, Chantiers de l’Atlantique and its partners (L2O Naval) have found a quite relevant design in term of both operational efficiency and fuel reduction.

Three SolidSail 1500 can be accommodated on the overall design.
