Ferry Operation Features for RoRo Compliance
When trailers are transported by sea, they must meet strict safety and handling requirements. This section highlights Don-Bur’s ferry operation features — including ferry rings, trestle plates and skid plates — all designed to ensure secure and compliant roll-on/roll-off transport.
Our ferry-spec adaptations are engineered to suit a wide range of vessel types and port handling procedures, with options tailored to meet operator requirements and ferry operator standards. Whether used domestically or internationally, these features help maintain load stability, reduce transit damage, and meet maritime compliance obligations.
HGV Trailer Underrun Ferry Skid Plates
Ferry skid plates can be specified when clearance from chassis to ground is limited and there is a likelihood of grounding the rear underrun bar.
Ferry Lashing Rings
A staple minimum compliance requirement for ferry crossings. Attached to the chassis, they typically come in 6 pairs; one pair in front of the landing legs, one pair in front of the bogie and the remaining pair at the rear.
