From page 85...
... In spite of all the uncertainties that exist in terms of modeling and interpreting simulation results, the demonstrated benefits of simulation for a wide variety of projects more than adequately justifies its use as a standard practice in waterway design. Simulation should be used in the following situations: · When vessel operational risk is a significant design issue.

... lIOW CAN SIMULATION BE ENHANCED AS A DESIGN AID? RECOMMENDATION: Simulation facility operators should establish a formal validation process that uses a carefully composed, interdisciplinary validatwn team to assure that key governing factors are adequately addressed and to provide consistency in the validation process.

From page 87...
... Multidisciplinary involvement in improving simulation capabilities would help increase confidence by the port and maritime transportation communities in simulation as a design and evaluation tool for waterways. Multi-disciplinary participation can be improved immediately by establishing formal validation processes that include essential operational and technical expertise in carefully composed interdisciplinary validation teams.
