      <title>SHIPS FOR GENERAL CARGO IN 1980</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/36181</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Part of a larger study looking into the future at the berth requirements of Great Britain for handling general cargo in the 1980's.  The Marine Transport Centre examines the costs of competition and of alternative modes of deep-sea general cargo shipping; in particular to compare container ships, roll-on vessels and barge-carriers with modern conventional vessels.  The Marine Transport Centre study (see Supplemental Note) was published in 1975, this article discusses some aspects of the work and the conclusions reached.]]></description>

      <title>POSSIBLE TRENDS IN FREIGHT CARRIER DESIGN</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/34656</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In this article, some of the possible future trends in the design of general cargo carriers (excluding bulk), and some of the economic factors which may dictate these trends, are considered. Some of the factors considered include increasing capital costs, labor costs and fuel costs. Future trends in ship design are discussed, and these include roll-on/roll-off vessels, pallet vessels, and barge carrying vessels. The design of a vessel utilizing a concept called the maxi-container system is also discussed, and this ship design is described in detail.]]></description>

      <title>HIGH PERFORMANCE SHIP DESIGN AND ITS RELATION TO RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/19301</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Some of the attributes of high performance ships are developed.  The potential benefit of high performance ships, high speed in high-sea states, is weighed against projected cost trends.  The cost/benefit comparison developed leads to an examination of structures in the context of a blanced design.  The approach to high performance ship design is inherently different from the design approach followed for monohull displacement ships.  the difference in approach is demonstrated to be first, because of the more stringent design requirements and second, because of the high degree of interaction required between subsystems.  The paper concludes with a suggestion for a possible reordering of research and development priorities to support high performance ships and their design, and prospects for overall benefits to the Navy's research and development programs.

      <description><![CDATA[The German Liberty design offered by the Consortium comprising Bremer Vulkan, Flensberger SchiffsbauGesellschaft and Rickmers Werft has been modified.  A comparison with the original specifications is given with regard to standard types and hull options.]]></description>

      <title>2001. THE AGE OF SHIP CONTROL</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2646</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A variety of probable world political environments are postulated.  From these environments, possible concepts for future warships, merchant ships, salvage ships, and research vehicles, both on the surface and undersea are discussed.  A forecast is made of the ship control systems requirements for these future ship concepts of the 21st Century; and the needs for action today are highlighted.  Trends in ship control systems are traced up to the present time when navigation is assisted by spacecraft orbiting the earth, and these trends are projected into a future of high speed, unmanned and automated seapower.]]></description>

      <title>TRENDS IN DRY CARGO AND CONTAINER SHIPS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1478</link>
      <description><![CDATA[As a result of the introduction of container ships, a reduced tonnage of ships will be required due to greatly improved utilization of ships, and following the better use of capital investment individual ships will be larger and faster.  The number of container ships required per year will not be large compared with present numbers of dry cargo ships and it is possible that a few specialist yards equipped and laid out for the purpose could supply the worlds needs.  Design studies should concentrate on large fast container ships and on small ships to provide feeder services to the large units.  Particular attention should be paid to deck stowage which appears to be a frequent source of trouble.  The demand for dry cargo vessels will drop by 1975 to about half the number being built in the last few years, and again there will be a trend towards increased size.]]></description>
