Marine safety is a major responsibility of the
United States Coast Guard. In carrying out this task,
the Coast Guard conducts periodic inspections of
existing merchant vessels and supervises construction
of new vessels. To support and help promote marine
safety, a Vessel Inspection Information System (VIIS)
has been proposed. The system would be used to
capture design information, inspection data, and other
relevant information; store it in a centralized data
base; and make the information available to Coast
Guard Units as needed through the use of interactive
computer terminals. The purpose of this thesis is to
present the results of a computer program which
provides cost estimates of the communications networks
in VIIS and provides information on network
performance.
