Major RoRo Cargoes 1. Port of Lübeck 2. RoRo in the Baltic Sea 3. Challenges for the RoRo Ports high and heavy, project cargo general cargo on rolltrailers

Systems of RoRo transport Advantages  short port stay due to fast loading/unloading in the port  very suitable for project cargo and heavy general cargo  high frequent and fast services Example: reliable lead time of 96 hours Italy - St. Petersburg via German Baltic Port  reliable schedules and service pattern Example: punctuality of RoRo-vessels in Lübeck abt. 95 %  strong vessels with highest ice-class in the Baltic Sea 1. RoRo self propelled units and/or rubber tyred units which are pulled on board (trailer, rolltrailers) 1. Port of Lübeck 2. RoRo in the Baltic Sea 3. Challenges for the RoRo Ports

Advantages  best possible utilization of the vessel‘s cargo capacity Example: ts of general cargo per vessel  high frequent, fast and reliable services  strong ice-classed vessels 2. StoRo bigger volumes of general cargo (e.g. paper) which are stowed breakbulk in the vessel. For port handling the cargo is loaded on rolltrailers by forklift Systems of StoRo transport 1. Port of Lübeck 2. RoRo in the Baltic Sea 3. Challenges for the RoRo Ports

Advantages  combination of European and Overseas Cargo on one vessel  high utilization of the vessel by stacking containers on a „RoRo“-deck  shortening of the port stay compared to pure container vessels  high frequent, fast and reliable service  strong ice-classed vessels 3. ConRo RoRo decks in the hold of the vessel, container cellguides on weather deck. LoLo-containers and RoRo- cargo is handled in the port simultaneously ConRo-scheme most suitable for the traffic via Baltic Sea to/from Russia Systems of ConRo transport 1. Port of Lübeck 2. RoRo in the Baltic Sea 3. Challenges for the RoRo Ports

Challenges for the ports Successful RoRo-Terminal  fixed ramps and/or pontoons, even double ramps  yard space for storage of RoRo-cargo  usually no stacking of cargo possible  transit sheds for reloading of general cargo  rails access into the terminal  container handling equipment: cranes, reachstacker etc.  terminal tractors, forklifttrucks 1.
