Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to determine the key factors for a feasible inter-state Ro-Ro Short Sea Shipping (SSS) that would be introduced in the Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA). Although the literature has addressed a myriad of important factors through research conducted particularly in Europe and North America, the identification of the more significant determining factors for a feasible SSS operation is expected to assist SSS investors and authorities of the BIMP-EAGA countries to focus their resources on a few significant factors that could enable the introduction of a feasible SSS service in the sub-region.
