Resources
White papers and reference guides on the operating models behind RoRo and finished-vehicle logistics: customs compliance, EDI integration, and the data spine that connects them.
From CEU to Bookable Capacity: Why a RoRo Vessel Rating Is Not a Sales Number
A vessel rated at 8,500 CEU has fewer sellable slots. The five constraint groups between a RoRo nameplate rating and what a planner can confirm per leg.

Booking to Border: the Customs-Compliance Operating Model for RoRo and Finished-Vehicle Forwarding

The Integration Ticket: How Finished-Vehicle Logistics Connects Over EDI
How vehicle logistics connects over EDI: the X12, EDIFACT, and ODETTE/VDA messages OEMs mandate, the onboarding path, and where integrations break.
Read the paperThe rest of the library
A white paper here takes one operating model and follows it end to end: what the regulation or standard actually requires, which systems it touches, where the handoffs break, and what a working setup looks like. They are written for the person who has to implement it, not for a buying committee, and they take a while to read.
When that is more than you need, the rest of the library covers the same ground at a different depth. Definitions when a term is unfamiliar, articles when a topic is still moving, and calculators when you want a number rather than an explanation.
Industry articles
Shorter pieces on what is changing in RoRo and finished-vehicle logistics: tariff shifts, customs deadlines, carrier moves, and how they land on day-to-day operations.
Logistics glossary
Plain definitions for the vocabulary of vehicle shipping, from CEU and lane meters to stowage plans, PDI, and demurrage. Written for people who need the working meaning, not the dictionary one.
Lane meter calculator
Convert a vehicle mix into lane meters, linear meters, and Car Equivalent Units, or work backwards from a deck to see how many units fit.
HS code lookup
Find the six-digit tariff heading for vehicles, parts, and machinery, with the caveats about what the first six digits do and do not settle.
VIN generator
Valid, check-digit-correct VINs decoded by make, for populating test environments without using a real vehicle identity.
Customer stories
How forwarders, NVOCCs, shipping lines, and terminals actually run on the platform, including what they moved off and what changed.
