The core of the report is the development of a coal-fired near-equivalent ship to the Panamax bulk carrier which was selected to form the basis of the study. The machinery for the coal-fired ship is discussed and financial comparisons are made. Fluidized bed combustion is found to be technically feasible at sea. Coal-fired ships would not conflict with likely environmental requirements. At January 1978 prices of oil and coal the typical coal-fired ship was found not be viable on the routes examined. (But by 1980, the Foreword points out, the coal-fired ship would have a cost advantage on the postulated trading pattern). (DePo)
