heal.abstract	Short sea shipping is a part of a transport chain, so most of its traffic potential is closely related to real-time information system and EDI technology. Through EDI the scheduling and linkage of different modes are possible. Also, advanced cargo handling technologies can improve the flexibility of port connections. Shipborne cargo handling facilities will bring economies of scale to small ports that would otherwise be deprived and excluded in the new transport chains. Therefore there is a need for new designs: ships that are arranged for specific connections with special cargo handling equipment and electronic devices to monitor the cargo. It is also possible to derive intermodalism from innovations such as automated mooring facilities or cargo handling. In addition, fast sea vehicles, which are almost always limited to short routes due to fuel expenses, can eliminate possible objections of JIT users.	en
