Features of modern container and Ro-Ro terminals

Lakšem načinu rukovanja teretom te smanjenju troškova prijevoza određenih tereta drastično je pridonijela kontejnerizacija. Svi terminali gdje kontejner predstavlja osnovnu jedinicu tereta za odvijanje operacija nazivaju se kontejnerski terminali. Osnovne djelatnosti prilikom rada i operacija na kontejnerskom terminalu sastoje se od manipulacija s kontejnerima tijekom utovara, istovara i pretovara između različitih prijevoznih sredstva kao što su željeznica, brod, kamion ili teglenice. Glavna značajka Ro-Ro tehnologije je teret, Ro-Ro tehnologija danas se javlja kao transport različitih vrsta tereta. Pristan za prihvat Ro-Ro brodova najčešće se sastoji od jednostavne operativne obale ili obalne rampe, što ovisi o izvedbi brodske rampe, dok terminal isključivo namijenjen za ovu vrstu tereta posjeduje interni terminalski transport, otvorene i zatvorene površine, pripadne servise i prostrana parkirališta.Containerization has drastically contributed to the way of handling cargo and to the reduction of transport costs. All terminals where the container represents the basic unit of cargo for carrying out operations are called container terminals. The basic operations at the container terminal consist of manipulations with containers during loading, unloading and transshipment between different means of transport such as rail, ship, truck or barge. The main feature of Ro-Ro technology is cargo, RO-RO technology appears as the transport of various types of cargo. The wharf for receiving ro-ro ships usually consists of a simple operational shore or coastal ramp, which depends of the design of ship ramp. The terminal has internal terminal transport, open and closed areas, ancillary services and spacious parking lots
