The model has been written to assist potential incinerator ship owners, government officials, port developers and the general public in planning the port interface for ocean-incineration systems. The port is an integral component of the logistic system. A logistical system provides means for transporting wastes from waste generators facilities to final open ocean incineration, including temporary storage functions required en route. The system performs all functions required to get wastes aboard a vessel in a form which will allow their safe, successful and legal incineration. The model focuses more on a methodology for dealing with the controversial situation surrounding ocean incineration. The model is written in the FORTRAN programming language for implementation on an IBM PC-compatible microcomputer.
