How Vehicle Carriers Move Cars Around the World
Vehicle carriers are specialised cargo ships designed to transport cars, trucks and other wheeled vehicles between ports. They play an important role in global automotive logistics by connecting vehicle production regions with international distribution markets.
Large vehicle carriers can transport thousands of vehicles on multiple internal decks. Their enclosed design helps protect cargo during ocean transport while ramps allow vehicles to be driven directly on and off the ship.
Different Types of Vehicle Carriers
Vehicle transport ships can vary in size and configuration depending on the cargo they carry and the routes they serve.
What Can You Find on a Vehicle Carrier Profile?
Available vessel information varies by ship, but public profiles can include important identification, technical and ownership details.
IMO-Nummer
The IMO number is a persistent vessel identifier and can help identify a vehicle carrier even if its name or flag changes.
MMSI und Rufzeichen
Public vessel records may include MMSI and call sign information used in AIS and maritime radio communications.
Abmessungen und Tonnage
Available profiles may include recorded length, beam, gross tonnage, deadweight and other technical vessel particulars.
Betreiber und Management
Some profiles may include available information about vessel operators, managers or beneficial owners from documented maritime sources.
How Cars Are Loaded onto Vehicle Carriers
Vehicle carriers use roll-on/roll-off systems that allow cars and other wheeled cargo to be driven onto the ship through large ramps. Vehicles are then secured on internal decks for the sea voyage.
Adjustable decks and specialised cargo arrangements allow many vehicle carriers to transport different vehicle sizes, including passenger cars, vans, trucks and construction equipment.
Pure Car Carriers and Pure Car and Truck Carriers
Pure Car Carriers are primarily designed for passenger vehicles, while Pure Car and Truck Carriers can accommodate a broader mix of cars, commercial vehicles and heavier wheeled cargo.
Modern vehicle carriers are often very large ships with high-sided superstructures containing multiple cargo decks.
High Cargo Capacity
Vehicle carrier capacity is often described by the number of standard vehicle units a ship can transport. The exact capacity depends on deck configuration and the size of the vehicles being carried.
Where Vehicle Carriers Operate
Vehicle carriers operate on international trade routes linking major automotive manufacturing regions with import terminals and distribution markets. Regular services connect ports in Asia, Europe, North America and other regions.
Some vessels operate on fixed schedules, while route patterns can change according to vehicle demand, production volumes and shipping contracts.
Tracking Vehicle Carriers Online
Vehicle carriers can appear on public maritime tracking services when current AIS information is available through the tracking provider. Depending on the available data, vessel position, course, speed and other voyage-related information may be shown.
Die Abdeckung der Ortung kann je nach terrestrischem AIS-Empfang, Satellitenverfügbarkeit und den vom Ortungsdienste bereitgestellten Daten variieren. Schiffspositionen können daher verzögert oder vorübergehend nicht verfügbar sein.

Vehicle Carrier Tracker FAQ
Can I track vehicle carriers online?
Yes. Vehicle carriers can appear on public maritime tracking services when current AIS data is available through the tracking provider.
What is a vehicle carrier?
A vehicle carrier is a specialised cargo ship designed to transport cars, trucks and other wheeled vehicles using roll-on/roll-off loading systems.
What is the difference between a PCC and a PCTC?
A Pure Car Carrier mainly transports passenger vehicles, while a Pure Car and Truck Carrier is designed to carry a wider range of cars, trucks and other wheeled cargo.
How can I find a vehicle carrier by IMO number?
You can search Ship-Tracker.org by IMO number, vessel name, MMSI or call sign where a matching public vehicle carrier profile is available.
Why is a vehicle carrier sometimes missing from the live map?
Ein Schiff kann vorübergehend nicht verfügbar sein, weil der AIS-Empfang eingeschränkt ist, Tracking-Daten verzögert werden, Satellitenabdeckungslücken bestehen oder andere Einschränkungen des Tracking-Anbieters vorliegen.
Does Ship-Tracker.org list every vehicle carrier?
No. The database includes vehicle carriers for which suitable vessel records and public profiles are available. Coverage may change as maritime data is added or updated.
