Innovative Technology of Transshipment in Inland Ports Constituting Interchanges of Intermodal Transport Chains
Journal Title: Archives of Transport - Year 2010, Vol 22, Issue 3
Abstract
The work presents an innovative solution of integrated load units transport with the use of inland waterways. The proposed concept of transport system utilizes river barges with construction allowing their positioning in relation to loading dock. Such solution creates a possibility to conduct transshipment works at high fluctuation of water levels, and leads to shortening the transshipment cycle using typical loading devices.
