The efficiency with which maritime transportation systems can be operated is dependent on numerous variables, vessel design, terminal location, regulatory restrictions, collisions, cargo spills, etc. The effects of changes in these variables can be significant and are manifested primarily in resulting port and inland transport congestion phenomena and on the economy of the shipping industry and the national economy as a whole. This model has been expanded to include all grain exporting ports in the United States and supersedes the prototype modal addressing U.S. Gulf ports only issued in April 1975. This volume provides an overview of the origins of the model, its technical development, and design aspects, and its potential uses and benefits. Volume 2 provides the technical report and Volume 3, the Users Documentation.
