Video Describes Port

Design Process And

Use Of Simulation

The application of real-time and fast-time simulation to port design problems is illustrated by a 20-min- ute videotape produced by Marine-

Safety International (MSI), priva- tized operator of the Computer-

Aided Operations Research Facility (CAORF) at the National Maritime

Research Center in Kings Point,

N.Y.

The video outlines the problems faced by ports in efficiently and safely handling today's larger ships.

Three examples are discussed: The

Panama Canal, Oakland Harbor and Tampa Bay. The role of simula- tion in helping to solve the problems faced each of these areas is dis- cussed and illustrated.

Task flow diagrams for desk-top studies, fast-time simulations, and man-in-the-loop real-time simula- tions are described and compared.

The videotape is available for free loan by calling Capt. John Town- ley at (516) 773-5602, or writing to

MSI/CAROF, U.S. Merchant Ma- rine Academy, Kings Point, N.Y. 11024.
