Quaresma Dias, J., Calado, J.M.F. e Mendonça, M.C. (2010), “The Role of European «ro-ro» Port Terminals in the Automotive Supply Chain Management”, Journal of Transport Geography, Vol. 18, Issue 1, pp. 116-124

The aim of this paper is concerned with the design and development of a functional framework for maritime mode integration in European automotive supply chain management when considering outbound distribution. Furthermore, it provides a readjustment of traditional concepts and terminology with findings that the role of ro-ro port terminals should be considered as decoupling points, poles and postponement platforms. Case studies examine relevant Western European ro-ro port terminals for cars and respective links to assembly/factories of vehicles localized in the hinterland and concludes that ro-ro port terminals reduce logistical friction and impedance, as well as promote space/time compression.
