Information technology offers tools facilitating planning and management for a shipping company. One of these tools are Decision Support Systems (DSS). These DSS produce quantitative descriptions of situations where the shipping companies have to deal with in their planning and management. The descriptions can relate to all aspects of the planning process and may include short, medium or long term planning issues, the overall market or only segments and aspects of the production process of shipping services concerning issues as vessel maintenance, bunker purchasing, and so on. The DSS deals with medium to long term planning issues for the market of general cargo ships, tankers and dry bulk carriers. Cyclical market fluctuations around the trend, as they specifically exist with the dry and liquid bulk shipping markets are not subject of analysis. The objective of the project is to develop a DSS model 'shell' which incorporates the necessary methodological framework and program development to allow for applicability to a wider range of shipping markets and circumstances.
