| ► Description: |
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. |
