USER MANUAL FOR THE MARAD FLEET OPERATIONS SIMULATION. VOLUME 4. PERFORMANCE OF THE SIMULATION, TRS

The results are described of two 'Production Runs' on Trade Route 8, one intended to simulate the historical period of 1959, and the other, to test an 'Improved System' of four Warehouse Ships (20.5 knots) as designed by George G. Sharp Inc. The data are discussed in Chapter 2 and recorded in the appendices as printouts from the EDIT program. Results and conclusions appear in Chapter 3 (historical) and 4 (improved system). Chapter 5 is devoted to a list of changes for improving the simulation programs.
