RECENT RESEARCH IN MARITIME TRANSPORTATION

The record of the second Maritime Transportation Research Symposium sponsored by MCTC, the research plans of the Maritime Administration, the containerization program of Matson Navigation Company, the Army's search for an optimum container size, and the determination of trailership construction costs and operating characteristics are revealed by government and industrial authors. Industrial and academic participants present papers on comparative economics of nuclear propulsion, systems approach to effective documentation, and a comparison of shipboard cranes and the burtoning system.
