Lift-on/lift-off (LoLo) ships are specialized cargo vessels equipped with on-board cranes designed to efficiently load and unload various types of cargo. Unlike other types of ships that rely on external port infrastructure or equipment for cargo handling, LoLo ships have their own integrated cranes, enabling them to self-manage the loading and unloading operations. These cranes can lift heavy containers, machinery, and other goods from the ship’s deck and safely place them onto the dock or vice versa. The ability to handle cargo independently offers flexibility and reduces dependency on port facilities, making LoLo ships suitable for ports with limited infrastructure or locations where specialized equipment may not be readily available.
