RORO 92 The 11 th International Conference & Exhibition For The Roll-on/Roll-off Marine Transportation Industry, SVENSKA MASSAN GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN 20-22 May 1992 RoRo 92 - The international marine industry's leading conference and exhibition exclusively focused on Roll-on/Roll-off transportation. From May 20 to 22, the Svenska Massan Conference Center and Sara Gothia Hotel in Gothenburg, Swe- den, will be hosting RoRo 92, the 11th biennial international conference and exhibition on Roll-on/Roll-off trans- portation concepts. Begun in 1976, the international conference was last held in Gothenburg in 1988 and in Trieste, Italy in 1990. The main focus of RoRo 92 will be on future developments in ship re- quirements, ship types and designs, port systems, environmental con- cerns, new European RoRo waterways, advances in terminal and linkspan designs, new Safety Of Life At Sea (SOLAS) regulations, and the latest in swapbody and cas- sette handling. For over 15 years the exhibition has been firmly established as the leading international event for those involved in the Roll-on/Roll-off in- dustry and an excellent business environment in which to promote their capabilities. The conference will bring together the views and exhibits of some of the leading exec- utives from the various sectors of RoRo handling, shipping lines, ports, marine machinery and cargo equip- ment manufacturers. Some of the products and services that will be on display include: RoRo tractors and forklifts; skid safety items; cargo lashing gear; marine navigation equipment; RoRo ship and ferry designs; port layouts; marine ma- chinery; container handling equip- ment and cranes; and ship management services. Participants from 40 countries are expected to attend RoRo 92. The three-day program compris- es 10 sessions under the following headings: Session 1 - MARKETS & NEEDS Session 2 - FAST RORO, THE FUTURE Session 3 - PORT FUTURES Session 4 - FOREST PRODUCTS Session 5 - SHIP DESIGN/ PROPULSION Session 6 - COASTAL & INLAND RORO Session 7 - LASHING & STEVEDORING Session 8 - TERMINAL DEVELOPMENTS Session 9 - SHIP SURVIVABILITY Session 10 -HANDLING & TRANSPORT The two opening sessions both address several key issues for the future of the business. The feasibil- ity of several fast sea transport projects between Scandinavia and the European continent will be ex- amined in the Fast RoRo Session, as well as the results of a major study carried out by Finland's Kvaerner Masa-Yards. Pollution concerns and their pos- sible solutions will be discussed during the Coastal, Inland RoRo and Ship Design & Propulsion sessions. One of the keynote speakers of the conference will be the U.S. Na- vy's commander of Military Sealift Command, Vice Adm. F. R. Dono- van. Based on the experience gained by coalition forces during the Gulf War, Admiral Donovan will dis- cuss the critical contribution made by RoRo merchant vessels to the allied supply effort and the impor- tance of maintaining a sufficient number of modern RoRo vessels. A major highlight of RoRo 92 will be the gala dinner and reception host- ed by Stena Rederi AB and the Swedish Shipowners Association on board the STENA DANICA. The lux- ury ferry will cruise through the beautiful Gothenburg Archipelago to Frederikshavn, Denmark, and back.
