SPEED, FUEL CONSUMPTION AND OUTPUT OF SHIPS-SOME QUANTITATIVE ECONOMICAL AND NATIONAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE OIL CRISIS.

In this paper, the author presents models (illustrated by specific examples) for measuring the implication of: a) fuel cost increases, and b) possible bunker shortages. The first of these situations (i.e., fuel cost increases) is treated as an economic problem with the objective being either to minimize cost per unit of output or to maximize profit. The second (i.e., possible bunker shortages) is dealt with as an allocation problem with constrained resources.
