The Bulk Carrier Maximum Optimal Ship Size
The main objective of this paper is to investigate the economical limit for the ships’ increase in size. Ship size is one factor out of many that affect the investors in the shipping business. The paper seeks to reassess the validity of well-established theoretical frameworks, which support the concept of depending on the increase in size of ships prompted by economies of scale. The investigati...
متن کاملOptimal Local Exchange Carrier Size
Optimal firm size and patterns of returns to scale among the local exchange companies in the U.S. telecommunications industry are estimated for the years: 1975, 1978, 1981, 1984, 1987 and 1990. The independent companies display increasing returns to scale, while the Baby Bells display constant or decreasing returns to scale. The independent companies operate at a scale smaller than optimal size...
متن کاملThe Maximum Sinkage of a Ship
A ship moving steadily forward in shallow water of constant depth h is usually subject to downward forces and hence squat, which is a potentially dangerous sinkage or increase in draft. Sinkage increases with ship speed, until it reaches a maximum at just below the critical speed p gh. Here we use both a linear transcritical shallow-water equation and a fully dispersive nite-depth theory to d...
متن کاملDesign of optimal central guidance of an underwater vehicle in the modeled ship wake
The purpose of this paper is to provide a new algorithm for guidance of an underwater vehicle to reach its target, and demonstrate its effectiveness by simulation with a computer code. The meant of target in here is to chase a ship on the surface of the water. In order to do this, one of the most effective methods is to follow the ship wake which produced behind it. Disadvantages of wake guidan...
متن کاملSimulated annealing for optimal ship routing
A simulated annealing based algorithm is presented for the determination of optimal ship routes through the minimization of a cost function. This cost function is a weighted sum of the time of voyage and the voyage comfort (safety is taken into account too). The latter is dependent on both the wind speed and direction and the wave height and direction. The algorithm first discretizes an initial...
