About this document

Linkspan Design for Ro-Ro Terminals by Trong Tran is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This paper provides an overview of the design challenges for ship-to-shore linkspans at roll-on-roll-off (ro-ro) ferry terminals, highlighting various types and associated issues. It discusses the evolution of design guidance following the 1994 Ramsgate walkway collapse, culminating in the publication of BS 6349-8 in 2007. The importance of linkspans in facilitating trade, particularly in the UK where ro-ro transport exceeds container traffic, is emphasized.
