ANALYSIS OF BERTH OCCUPANCY RATE OF WORLD CONTAINER TERMINALS BY THE DEVELOPMENT OF BERTH WINDOW WITH USING AIS DATA

Abstract

 Volume of world container cargo has been increasing rapidly and competition among container ports has been intensifying. Each container terminal aims to improve occupancy rate to survive against this competition. Also in Japan, the international container strategic port policy is progressing.
 In this background, this study developed the procedure to make berth window by using AIS data and analyzed berth occupancy rate of world container terminals.
