Abstract During the past decade there has been a dramatic increase in the volume of international trade conveyed under roll on/roll off cargo conditions. The cargo involved includes the TIR trailer of length 12.2 m, the articulated (often termed juggernaut) driver-accompanied vehicle of length 15.5 m, the MAFI trailer, the trade car, agricultural equipment, and so on. The articulated vehicle is confined to the estuarial and short sea trades, whilst the unaccompanied trailer is found in both the deep sea and short sea trades.
