The past history, current status, and future potential and applications for floating industrial vessels were determined. Special emphasis was placed on those concepts with the greatest likelihood for implementation by the year 2000 as well as those which would provide the greatest stimulus to the Maritime Industry. A classification and rating system was developed for the different concepts. Fifty-one existing, floating facilities were identified. The ten concepts considered most likely to be implemented were identified. The study was performed in two phases: Part I (this report) - a worldwide survey of industrial plant vessels, and Part II (a separate report) - a survey of those plant vessels which specifically provide municipal services.
