Ports tend to be measured and compared based upon their throughput, the amount of commerce conducted inbound and outbound of the port, however there are other KPIs that should be considered when looking at terminal planning and the efficiency of your port. This does not necessarily mean a raft of work for your analysts, simple measures can be put in place to allow you to accurately understand exactly what is happening within your port and the changes that can be made to improve vessel call efficiencies.

This paper, co-authored with the Global Institute of Logistics and SeaIntel Maritime Analysis examines the benefits of slow steaming and analyses financial benefits from improvements in the berthing process. For one case an annual saving of 40 million USD could be realized if the berthing process can be improved by 3 hours. Through a survey we find that a significant part of the berth planning process is highly manual in many ports and terminals. We conclude that is it feasible to improve the berth planning process and a substantial financial gain can be achieved by doing so.
