**Roll-on/roll-off shipping event, RORO 2014 in London, will include high level conference sessions addressing alternative fuels, the global outlook for the RORO market and the outlook for the North Sea and Baltic region.** The **RORO conference** takes place in the exhibition hall and will feature high level and topical content regarding the movement of cargo using roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) shipping. The event will takes place at **ExCel in London**, from **24-26 June** and is the only exhibition dedicated to the **roll-on/roll-off industry.** _“The themes, topics and discussions covered during the conference sessions will attract key senior level professionals from the market who are looking to learn and make decisions”_ says Sophie Ahmed, Event Director. _“All the sessions will provide a comprehensive understanding of the RoRo transport issues that are being faced today.”_ **Day one of the RORO Conference** will focus on 'Markets under Pressure' and will commence with Mike Garratt, Managing Director of MDS Transmodal, looking at the global outlook for the RORO Market. A paper tiled _‘Alternative fuels including LNG vs. Scrubber Technology’_ will be presented by Martin Crawford-Brunt, Manager, UK & Ireland, Maritime, Region - West Europe and Africa of DNV GL. The conference session will look at alternatives to HFO (Heavy Fuel Oil) and MGO (Marine Gas Oil), including batteries, methanol, bio-fuels and LNG in RoRo trades as well as recent trends and examples of vessels ordered with these technologies, including NORLED, the 100% battery powered ferry. The current outlook for the North Sea and Baltic region will be the topic of a conference session presented by Piotr Trusiewicz, Publishing Director, Baltic Transport Journal. Focuses will include a comparison of RoRo and ferry links and freight traffic in the region; opportunities for investments and network development; and the future of rail ferries, roll-trailers, kombi trains and port-port rail connections. _“**RORO 2014** is a free-to-attend three day exhibition and conference that provides logistics professionals involved in roll-on/roll-off shipping with the opportunity to meet, network and buy”_ adds Sophie Ahmed. _“Visitors will include high level decision makers from various sectors such as car and vehicle manufacturers / OEMs, Cargo logistics companies, freight forwarders, ship builders and port and terminal operators, with buying power."_ Logistics and shipping professionals at **RORO 2014** will further benefit as the event will be co-located with **TOC Europe** and the recently launched **Port Centric Logistics (PCL) exhibition.** **For further information about RORO, or to exhibit or speak at the event, visit [www.roroex.com](http://www.roroex.com/) or contact Sophie Ahmed on +44 (0)20 7017 5112.** Issued on behalf of RORO by: **MOLOKINI MARKETING LTD** Press/Advertising enquiries contact: Jude Mitcham | [jude@molokini.co.uk](mailto:jude@molokini.co.uk) Laura Simmonds | [laura@molokini.co.uk](mailto:laura@molokini.co.uk) Tel: +44 (0) 1903 207408 | [www.molokini.co.uk](http://www.molokini.co.uk/)
