APICS Certified in Logistics, Transportation and Distribution (CLTD) — Question 37

A company that ships self-propelled cargo and prefers not to utilize specialized lifting equipment should consider which of the following types of shipping vessels?

Answer options

• A. Handysize
• B. Roll-on/roll-off (RORO)
• C. Suez-Max
• D. Trot-on/trot-off (TOTO)

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Trot-on/trot-off (TOTO), as this type of vessel allows vehicles to drive on and off without the need for cranes. Options A and C, Handysize and Suez-Max, respectively, are not specifically designed for self-propelled cargo and may require lifting equipment. Option B, Roll-on/roll-off (RORO), while similar, does not match the specific preference stated in the question.
