This book provides a thorough understanding of Short Sea Shipping
(SSS) and its role in transport chains, presenting a revision of EU
policies for SSS. Infrastructure and equipment required for the
success of SSS are discussed, including critical features of modern
roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) ships and terminals. Models are proposed
for the evaluation of transportation demand in SSS, including the
potential effects of external costs, and its results are used
within the scope of methods for Ro-Ro ship and fleet sizing. A
discussion of methods used to calculate such costs is provided, and
a comparison of aggregated demand with and without internalisation
of external costs is carried out, pointing towards solutions for
'greening' freight transportation. Applications of multi-criteria
decision-making and simulation techniques to supply chains based on
SSS are presented. The role of information and communication
technologies (ICT) in the promotion of SSS is also discussed. A
number of case studies illustrate the different research methods
and techniques. This book is a useful resource for students and
researchers studying transportation, as well as policymakers and
practitioners involved in this field and anyone with an interest in
the promotion of environmentally sound transport solutions.
