OPTIMAL SHIP CHOICE UNDER UNCERTAIN OPERATING CONDITIONS

The problem of designing cargo ships for uncertain conditions of operation is studied. The consequences of departure from optimal designs are explored by introducing the penalty concept, a mathematical model for pallet ships being used for the purpose. The analysis leads to certain design guidelines.
