Phase I of the development of the Next Generation Cargo Liner addressed the commercial trade forecasts and the development of custom ship designs for seven participating owners. Phase II was to prepare a preliminary design of a standard ship which would satisfy a composite of the various owners' requirements. In attempting this it became clear that additional research and development is needed. Volume I addresses three sizes of vessels ranging from 18,700 DWT to 26,030 DWT and service speeds from 20 to 23 knots. These vessels can accommodate RO/RO, containers, and break-bulk cargo depending on outfitting.
