Abstract:
|
Anchorages are important resources for certain hub ports, and they are increasingly in
demand during peak periods. We evaluate the capacity of multiple anchorages by
reproducing realistic mix of arriving vessels, dwelling time and the current practices in
choosing anchoring spots within an anchorage. The model is validated by using historical
data. We also propose methods for improving space utilization of anchorages. Our
experiments with four real anchorages show that the space utilization is improved by 6 to
10% with MHDF and WALLPACK_MHDF algorithms. This finding opens up possibilities
of designating vessel anchoring spots for improved utilizations in the future. |
