reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0866483 | Need Help?

Abstract:

The work presents a practical example of computer simulation to the cargo handling problem on a general cargo ship. A Mariner type ship was selected to assure introduction of realistic physical and operational constraints, and to permit simulation results to be compared with actual available operational results.
