Lift-on, lift-off, also known as Lolo ships, is a type of cargo vessel, equipped with onboard cranes used for loading and offloading goods without the need for or support with external cranes.
Lift-on/Lift-off (lo/lo) cargo is containerized cargo that must be lifted on and off vessels and other vehicles using handling equipment. A LOLO operation is when cargo is loaded and discharged over the top of the vessel using cranes or derricks. Lo Lo vessels load and unload cargo at Roll On-Roll Off (Ro-Ro) ports, Load On-Load Off (Lo-Lo) ports and at un serviced jetties, using its own cranes. Self-geared Lift-on/Lift-off (Lo/Lo) type vessels are loaded and unloaded by a crane, which lifts cargo to a specific location on the Lo/Lo ship. The cargo is loaded pursuant to a specific plan that is necessary in order to balance the Lo/Lo ships as they are not equipped with ballast-adjusting mechanisms.
