This paper reviews the current economic situation in the cargo shipping industry. Specifically, a detailed supply/demand and cost/benefit analysis of the commercial shipping industry is presented. This is done to determine the relevant trends and cost factors associated with cargo shipping operations. The main findings of the economic review are: (1) certain technological developments are leading to significant cost savings in cargo shipping, (2) the key cost of most any containership operation utilizing U.S. ports, will be the port/cargo handling costs, and (3) the U.S. shipbuilders and ship operating companies are currently facing, and will continue to face, difficult economic times if they persist to compete in the world commercial shipping business in the same way they are now. The effects on the economics of shipping operations of different capital structures, inflation, taxation, and depreciation schemes (as they apply to the cargo shipping industry) are evaluated. Based on this information, guidelines and methods are developed to correctly deal with these matters when conducting financial analysis for ship operations. A detailed financial costing model is developed and used to evaluate the feasibility of a specific containership operation. The result of the analysis is that the proposed operation, based on the assumptions stated, can be a very profitable venture for the ship operating company.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Walter Schroeder Library Master's Theses AC805 .B47 1992 Available Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
