Definition of ro/ro (from Southampton shipping news)

Having never read a shipping report in my life (at least before my Cooper S got booked on the Aida) I didn't know some of the terms listed for the Aida; specifically "ro/ro".

A search on Google revealed a site that not only defined "ro-ro" as "Roll on, roll off", but also had a cutaway view of an example ship.

Now I'm worried. I was hoping my precious S would be surrounded by packing material and tucked safely into its own cocoon. It appears it just gets driven onto the ship and parked! Oh my!

Hopefully they at least bolt it down and throw some bubble wrap around it.

It's mine, all mine! Mwooohahaha!
