The bulk of the load carriers, which are in circulation between the ship and the terminals, are
owned by shipping companies or are hired by those in case of need. In the considered RoRo terminal
are on average about 300-350 loaded and empty load carriers, which belong to shipping companies.
The shipping companies allocate them on an individual basis (i.e. a specific fee) to the orders or
specific goods. Additionally, there are lots of own load carriers in command to the port operators.
These "service load carriers" always keep on terminal. They are used for the transport of goods
between ship and terminal as well as for the storage and transfer of general goods on the terminal.
Here the load carrier bridges the relocation distance; a forklift set the transported goods in the ship or
on the terminal. For the identification of each load carrier, standardized numeric or alpha-numeric
identities are awarded and can be allocated to specific jobs.
