The Maritime Transportation Series (c) A Simulation Model for the Commercial Fleet Operations

A digital computer simulation model is built for the maritime transportation network that may contain transloading points of cargo. The model serves as a utility tool for testing certain designs, system configurations, or the implications of prespecified policies. A high degree of modularity, segmentation, and hence flexibility is achieved. The model was tested and validated on the ICL 1900. E computer and is presented here in considerable details.
