Objective The LOGBASED project aims at developing more efficient ro-ro vessels as an integral part of developing and operating more effective intermodal transport value chains. Currently, vessel performance evaluations are normally limited to the isolated vessels' performance. Seldom, is the overall performance of the logistics value chain assessed and benchmarked with the vessels' performance included. The aim of this project is, therefore, to develop a specific logistics-based design process with an opportunity to assess the performance of transport value chains with the vessel performance as an integral part of this assessment. Thus, more efficient vessels' solutions can be developed in the future so that these may be used for the displacement of long-haul road freight and for opening up new intermodal corridors. The new advised design and assessment approach should particularly be capable of guiding a consistent and streamlined design process of the maritime solutions of a transport value chains. In this way, can the overall theoretical, logistic solution's performance be assessed and benchmarked at the design stage, including but not limiting to the vessels performance. It is a separate goal of this project when applying this new logistics-based design approach to improve efficiency of the vessel's performance with up to 30% (fuel economy, building costs, environmental impact, stability, payload, weight/volume, manoeuvrability and turn around time in port).
