Technical Report On Liner And Bulk Planning Systems Offered By MarAd

The Maritime Administration has announced the availability of a three-volume technical report, "Microcomputer- Based Planning System for Liner and Bulk Shipping Operators." Under a MarAd research and development contract, Temple, Barker and Sloane, Inc. (TBS) of Lexington, Mass., developed two separate systems—one for liner vessels and the other for bulk carriers.

Lykes Bros. Steamship Company assisted TBS in developing the system for liner operators. The American Steamship Company, GARD, Inc., and Marine Transport Lines assisted with the bulk operator system.
