Ro-Ro PCC Car Transporting Vessel
Ro-Ro PCC Car Transporting Vessel in Southampton Water. Since 1970 the market for exporting and importing cars has increased dramatically and the number and type of RO/ROs has increased also. Todays pure car carriers (PCC) and their close cousins, the Pure Car/Truck Carrier (PCTC) are distinctive ships with a box-like superstructure running the entire length and breadth of the hull, fully enclosing and protecting the cargo. They typically have a stern ramp and a side ramp for dual loading of vehicles, as well as extensive automatic fire control systems. The PCTC has liftable decks to increase vertical clearance as well as heavier decks for " high and heavy" cargo. Some vessels are capable of carrying up to 6, 500 vehicles

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent Ro-Ro PCC Car Transporting Vessel gracefully sailing through the picturesque Southampton Water. Since 1970, the global market for importing and exporting cars has experienced an exponential growth, leading to a significant increase in both the number and variety of RO/ROs. Today's cutting-edge Pure Car Carriers (PCC) and their close relatives, the Pure Car/Truck Carriers (PCTC), stand out with their distinctive box-like superstructure that spans the entire length and width of the hull, providing complete protection to their precious cargo. Equipped with a stern ramp and side ramp for efficient dual loading of vehicles, these remarkable vessels also boast advanced automatic fire control systems. The PCTC takes it up a notch by featuring liftable decks that enhance vertical clearance while accommodating heavier loads such as "high and heavy" cargo. Astoundingly, some of these marvels can transport an astonishing 6,500 vehicles at once! As this awe-inspiring photo reveals, these car carriers navigate vast oceans with ease while ensuring utmost safety for each vehicle on board. Their role in facilitating international trade is undeniable as they serve as vital conduits for transporting cars across continents.
