Even with the mast down, the keel made the thing 20 feet tall. So they raised the entry deck to get that sucker inside. The ramp swings right and left (or port and starboard) to be able to use both angles depending on how the ship is berthed.
You know, it's really weird to see a bunch of motor yachts being discharged from a ship. Most often they crane them over the water side (not a RORO).
