| Popis: | This paper proposes an in-depth analysis of Ro-Ro/Ro-Pax services in the Western Mediterranean, with a focus on Italy. Following an already consolidated research track, a database of Ro-Ro/Ro-Pax services has been built and analysed, enabling policy insights on port connectivity, market positioning of shipping companies across ports and routes, and congestion of Ro-Ro/Ro-Pax port terminals. Furthermore, an adaptation of the well-known GLS-based procedure that updates/estimates o-d flows from traffic measurements has been proposed, to estimate Ro-Ro/Ro-Pax freight flows between ports in a study area, given the total inbound/outbound port throughput and the total weekly capacity of port-to-port services. Application to both a laboratory experiment and to a real case study yielded very effective results. Overall, the presented analyses update earlier contributions in the literature and set the basis for an observatory on Ro-Ro/Ro-Pax services that might be regularly brought up to date and applied also to other countries. |
