INTERMODAL TRANSPORT TO/FROM TURKEY

‡ In Turkish international intermodal operations, different forms of intermodal transport can be distinguished:

(a) Road-rail operations refer to the transport of containers, swap-bodies, semi-trailers or lorries that are carried on specially adapted railway wagons. A special form of road-rail transport is the so-called rolling road or Rollende Landstrasse (Ro-La) technique. (b) Roll-on-roll-off (RO-RO) maritime operations refer to the transport of lorries, semitrailers, containers or swap-bodies to ships on their own wheels or on wheels attached to them for this purpose. This also covers national and international ferry services, including railway ferries as well as national short-sea shipping. (c). Intermodal movements by using ocean container transportation
