Abstract
The results of a project intending to design and develop a microcomputer-based, interactive graphics decision support system for containership stowage planning are presented. The objective was to create a working prototype that would automate data management tasks and provide computational capabilities to allow the stowage planner to continuously assess vessel trim, stability, and strength characteristics. The paper provides a complete description of the decision support system developed to meet this objective, including a definition of the containership stowage problem, and details on the design and development of the Automated Stowage Plan Generation Routine (ASPGR). The paper concludes with a discussion of issues relevant to the implementation of the system in the maritime industry.
