Roll-on operation on PCCs
When conducting roll-on operation from the quay wall to the stowage position, caution should be exercised so as not to cause collision on the slope or where visibility is poor.
Since roll-on operations on the ramp and in the vicinity often cause damage, the structure and strength of the ramp and the dimensions of vehicles (length, width, height, overhanging, minimum ground clearance, wheel base, etc.) should be examined in advance and, at the same time, attention should be paid to the points listed.
