Abstract

This study describes the application of an integer programming algorithm for optimizing the maneuver time of vessels operated by a company by using the anchorage area located along the access channel to a port. The research problem occurs because of the need to reduce ships’ operating time and the idle times of anchoring areas in the port terminal. The study considers restrictions relating to the estimated times and the execution of maneuvers from beyond the harbor up to the berths, as well as from the anchorage area to the berths. A model is used that considers all the identified constraints to propose anchoring usage for the vessels operated by the companies under review.
