THE HISTORICAL SIMULATION OF TRADE ROUTE 27

Discusses the results of a run using historical input data applying a previously documented computer program, the MARAD Fleet Operations simulation, to the study of Trade Route 27. Historical data were derived from the 1961-1962 period of operation of C-3 ships on TR27. Qualitative outlines of the historical period were reproduced by the simulation, and most of the quantitative results were also in good agreement with the data. Output records of the run were used to test the effect of small changes in ship size.
