Question

I don't think that many people understand that many ships have to pay huge costs for intermodal transportation from unloading containers to transportation to and from railroad and to get the items out of port space. Shippers and ports were searching for ways to keep these costs and improve timeliness. Ro/Ro addresses these issues favorably. What about the sustainability part? How does this help with fuel and emissions?
