Abstract
This paper deals with States Steamship Company's new Roll-On/Roll-Off (RO/RO) ship, the SS MAINE. It examines four particular aspects: the concept of the RO/RO ship, the physical aspects of the ship, the cargo equipment, and cargo handling contingencies. By examining other RO/RO vessels, they were able to develop their own concept of the RO/RO ship.
