Port Optimisation

The efficiency of a port and the reduction of a ship’s Total Time in Port (TTIP) will drive the efficiency of the logistical supply chain.  Reducing a ship’s TTIP will result in the following:

• Reduced shiploader commitment for equivalent output
• Reduced risk of demurrage
• Achievable shipping and loading schedules
• Efficient operation of stockyard and loading infrastructure
• Reduced inventory
• Effective planning and scheduling of production and transportation operations from source to the port.

MLA’s focus is the use of dynamic modelling and our expertise to reduce a ship’s TTIP.  This is achieved through understanding the variables which impact on a ship’s TTIP and thus reducing the levels of variability.
