Abstract: | A comparison is made of the various mathematical models that have been constructed, over the past 15 years, of a semi-trailer
that can be carried on roll-on/roll-off ships, and some results from five of the models developed by the author are given.
The purpose of this comparison is to show that even in the absence of reliable experimental evidence, there is such good agreement
between the models that the results from each of them can be relied upon. Problems resulting from large lashing loads and
deck loads are highlighted, and it is suggested that the present codes which govern the way semi-trailers are secured on board
ship need further scrutiny.
