  7. PORT PERFORMANCE INDICATORS & ANALYSIS

OVERVIEW

Description

The efficiency of a port/terminal is important because the ship owners are interested in quick ship turnaround in order to reduce costs and be on time. The ship owners also have an interest in the cargo being handled with no cargo claims. In order to have satisfied customers and to base decisions the port/terminal operators must have factual information on the actual operational performance of the handling of cargo within the port/terminal. This course is intended to present basic indicators common for any port/terminal operation and for any type of cargo. Because of its complexity the course will use general cargo operation as an example.
