Automotive in the maritime context refers to the transportation and handling of vehicles, including cars, trucks, and other motorised vehicles, by sea. This primarily involves the shipping of automobiles as cargo across oceans on specialised vessels known as Ro-Ro ships (Roll-on/Roll-off). These ships are designed with large, open decks to accommodate the movement of vehicles onto and off the ship, allowing for efficient loading and unloading. The term also extends to the integration of automotive technology in maritime vessels, such as the use of engines or drive systems adapted from automotive industries.
