Port Operation And Berthing Management
SHIP OPERATIONS AT BERTH / TERMINAL
OPL services help ships achieve time efficiency and minimum deviation, low cost, and economies of scale.
From this stage onward, the port authorities will handle the ship’s navigational, berthing, loading, and unloading operations, taking into consideration its commercial and contractual status, that is, depending on whether the ship is a liner or a tramp.
After the ship has met the navigational and documentation prerequisites, the operations stage involves the vessel’s actual purpose of visiting the port, which may include loading, unloading, bunkering(supplying of fuel), victualing(provide food), and other operations.
Port And Terminal Operators Logistic Network
Competent ports actively pursue to attract skilled global partners such as terminal operators, to run a certain number of their containers, bulk and liquid cargoes, and multipurpose cargo terminals and become active members of the regional logistics infrastructure.
GEOGRAPHICAL FACTORS 02
01
Physical ability of port to accommodate the operation of the vessel.

Infrastructure & equipment availability
The infrastructure of the port impacts how reliably and quickly your cargo reaches its destination.

Merchant ships are broadly classified on the basis of their sizes and areas of operation. The classification of the ship is decided right at the design stage on the basis of the route of operation and the purpose of the ship.
