GENERAL ECONOMIC EVALUATION PROCEDURE FOR OCEAN TRANSPORTATION

The paper, after a brief discourse on traditional rules-of-thumb for decision making, outlines the development of the interest formulae that are the basis of most evaluation procedures. Then a discussion is made as to the types of economic alternatives that require management decision and the relationship of the evaluation procedure tool to these alternatives. The second part is a discussion of some of the details and general philosophy that must be considered in the calculation of the economic criteria. The third part deals with applications of the criteria to specific business organizations, i.e., independent shipowner, ancillary organization to a larger organization and subsidized organization.
