ABSTRACT
Introduction Some time after the start of containerization came a cargo revolution in the door-to-door service of Roll-on, Roll-off (Ro-Ro) handling procedures. The Ro-Ro traffic provided a shuttle service for containers as well as cutting delivery times to hours rather than weeks, previously experienced with conventional shipping. The Ro-Ro explosion was so great that ports changed their operations and ship design started to incorporate new concepts, to handle large vehicles.
