The sizes of bulk carriers have been getting larger and larger. In Japan, international bulk strategic ports have been already selected, and will be developed hereafter. But, because of the Great East Japan Earthquake disaster, some delay of this development plans are assumed. Based on this condition, this study proposes port entry procedure by using UKC forecast/control system. By this procedure, maximum draft of port entry ship will be enlarged.
