Heeley This work is accepted as fulfilling the Research Paper requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE IN MANAGEMENT from the United States Naval Postgraduate School ABSTRACT « The roll-on- roll-<fr£f and lift-on-lift-off cargo handling concepts have developed rapidly in the trans- portation field since the early 1950' s. The utilization of these two concepts has revolutionized the transportation industry. Based on the information available and the comparative analysis made it can be seen that the economical advantages of the lift-on-lift-off operation are more applicable to commercial transportation, whereas the fast turn-around features of the roll-on-roll-off operation are of particular importance in the logistics field for successful support of Military operations TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I, Introduction 1 II • Containerization 8 J III, Roll-on-Roll-off Concept 21 IV* Life-on-Lift-off Concept 37 V.
