This post covers the KPIs that separate high-performing ports from the rest. We'll also look at how ports plan tug allocation and maintain ISPS compliance.  These aren't separate issues. They're all connected to your bottom line.

Think of berth planning as the port's version of air traffic control. It decides which ship goes where, when it arrives, and how long it stays. Get it right, and vessels move smoothly. Get it wrong, and the whole port backs up like rush hour traffic.

Most ports aim for 60-70% berth occupancy. Push beyond 80%, and productivity drops by about 8.4% because of congestion.

Ports are vital hubs in global trade, connecting continents and facilitating the movement of goods. However, their operations can have significant environmental and social impacts. Embracing sustainable practices in port management is essential to ensure long-term economic viability, environmental protection, and community well-being.
