A Forecast of 1970-1985 World Shipping.

Abstract

As part of a study on the future use of shipping in the North Atlantic by NATO nations, the numbers, average speeds, average tonnages, fleet capacities, annual trade (tonnage transported) and fleet productivity (cargo tons per deadweight ton) of merchant shipping in the world has been forecast up to 1985. For this purpose the ships are divided among four classes: tankers, bulk carriers, container ships and other cargo ships. (Author)
