Maritime satellite communications: A management perspective
Abstract
The results are summarized of a study of the long-run costs and benefits of maritime satellite communications. The study reviews the efforts of participating U.S. flag shipping companies in using this new technology to solve some pressing problems of fleet management. Certain technical operating and economic aspects of maritime satellite and HF (sitor/selcall) radio communications are also discussed to assist ship operators in obtaining the information needed to develop a management perspective for corporate decision making in reference to these new communications services.
