Microcomputer-Based Planning Systems for Liner and Bulk Shipping Operators. User's Guide: Bulk System

摘要

The microcomputer-based strategic planning system for bulk vessel operators (PSB) represents the prototype implementation of methodology developed earlier by Marine Transport Lines, Inc. and GARD, Inc. in 1983 under a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Maritime Administration. During the system development effort, further inputs were received from members of the U.S. flag ship operators and the U.S. Maritime Administration. This planning system will be highly useful to planners and managers in the bulk shipping industry. It is a flexible system, allowing easy customization by interested users.
