A complex assessment model of factors affecting ro-ro transportation on the Baltic

The article deals with the a complex assessment model of factors affecting ro-ro transportation on the Baltic. It is to be mentioned that close cooperation with other transport industries and ro-ro terminals is not always attainable what consequently enhanse the impact of factors affecting ro-ro transport and lessen atractiveness of such transportation, reduce cargo flow in general. The study concerns theoretical investigation of the principles of ro-ro transport and assessment of factors affecting ro-ro market, and possibilities for appropriate development and optimization of ro-ro and based on these establishing objective and subjective factors and their respective impact on ro-ro liner shipping and developing of the complex assessment model for ro-ro shipping with further enabled experimental application there of.
