Complex inter-modal container transportation systems require efficient shipboard operation as well as shore-side management. Under the sponsorship of the Maritime Administration, Sea-Land Service, Inc. has installed, tested and evaluated the Integrated Marine Decision Support System developed by Ocean Systems Inc. on two of its container ships operating in the Trans-Pacific trades. The system consists of a suite of PC-based programs to receive forecast wind and wave data via satellite communications, and to predict seakeeping and speedkeeping performance of the vessel for heavy weather damage avoidance and route planning purposes. Two additional programs were developed to aid decision making by the shipboard officers as well as shore-side management. The shipboard data logging program performs voyage data logging/report generating functions. The port operations planning program attempts to trade-off the loading/unloading cost with the expected fuel cost for on-time arrival at the next port.
