Sažetak
Ro-Ro technology is freight technology which originated in the 19th century, and which has undergone major development since the Second World War. As the name indicates, a special ramp is used to “roll on” and “roll off” the cargo from and onto the vessel. A Ro-Ro terminal consists of the following elements: a gate, gamma-ray station, weighbridges as well as waiting areas. Since the cargo is loaded and unloaded “on wheels”, logistics services play a major role in Ro-Ro terminal, and complement port operations, distinguishing between the export and import stream. The flow of export and import stream is oppositional. The export starts at the gate of the terminal, while import begins when the vessel is moored. The import and export processes complete a perfect functioning cycle within the port areas. This paper aims at establishing which logistics processes yield maximum efficiency and exploitation of the potential of Ro-Ro terminals. Research results indicate advantages and disadvantages of Ro-Ro technology and how prompt and reliable port services can be ensured.
