		RORO vessels have built-in ramps which allow the cargo to be efficiently "rolled on" and "rolled off" the vessel when in port.
		While smaller ferries that operate across rivers and other short distances still often have built-in ramps, the term RORO is generally reserved for larger ocean-going vessels.
		One of the earliest was Firth of Forth ferry in Scotland which started in 1851 and operated for nearly forty years, until the completion of the Forth Bridge.

		She was sold to government-owned BC Ferries for CAD $13.8 million in April 1974 and was renamed Queen of Surrey, operating between Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver and Nanaimo on Vancouver Island.
		The response by BC Ferries CEO David Hahn was that, although this was a catastrophic event, the emergency response by the crew is evidence of the safety of ferry travel.
		On March 26, 2007, BC Ferries released the results of its investigation and blamed the accident on human error caused by three crew members, specifically the Queen of the North's helmswoman who was at the wheel of the ship as well as the ship's second and fourth officers who were in charge of navigation.

	RORO (Site not responding. Last check: )
		RORO and ro-ro are acronyms for Roll On/Roll Off; a type of ferry, cruiseferry, cargo ship or barge that carries wheeled cargo such as automobiles, trailers or railway carriages.
		While smaller ferries that operate across rivers and other short distances often have built-in ramps, the term RORO is generally reserved for ocean-going vessels.
		The seagoing RORO car ferry, with big external doors close to the waterline and a large vehicle deck with few internal bulkheads that are able to prevent large movements of flood water, has a reputation for being a high risk design.

	Water ferry services for homeland security and National Defense - Commentary Army Logistician - Find Articles
		RORO transport would permit the water ferry service to be competitive during normal operations as well as during a crisis, making it more appealing to domestic shippers and consignees in their everyday business operations.
		In a RORO container-on-chassis operation, containers could be discharged from an international containership and loaded immediately onto waiting chassis, The containers on chassis then could be loaded onto specially designed "transfer carriages." These transfer carriages then could be loaded on a coastwise vessel as soon as it arrived, reducing vessel turnaround time.
		RORO domestic water ferry service clearly is a viable solution to the daunting rail and highway infrastructure problems.

		The development of RoRo connections in Europe is one of the most important factors determining the future of the Szczecin and Swinoujscie seaport complex in Poland.
		A key element in the north-south transport corridor is the ferry terminal in Swinoujscie that is the largest in Poland and handles ferry traffic to and from Sweden, Denmark and Poland, and then further to the south of Europe.
		To ensure that the port meets the requirements of the new generation of ferries, plans to construct a new deep quay for vessels of 200m in length and 8m in draught are on the drawing board.

		And the "previous incidents" in ferry history is embarrassing; that ferry type that sank was banned in Europe 10 or 15 years ago.
		RORO ferries with nose doors aren't banned in Europe at all - most of the cross-channel ferries are still of that design, and with the nose doors operational.
		Well, I'm not sure what the overall European situation is but I think after the Estonia tragedy in '94 they either introduced some more strict regulations regarding RORO ferries in Germany or banned them alltogether.

		Yes, the ferry would have easily avoided a ship that had been drifting for some time.

	Fast Rescue Boats
		The IMO then recommended (sic) that roro-passenger ferries should not be arrested at Port State Controls when it was established that the crew did not practice with the dangerous FRBs as per SOLAS rules.
		The reason is that the ferry is rolling and pitching in severe adverse weather and that the rescue boat will be thrown against the ferry side during launch and/or retrieval.
		The IMO on the one hand mandates fast rescue boats on ferries and on the other supports the crews that do not want to train with them as they are dangerous.
