Vessel arrive at the port over time and aims for departure within a specific time frame. Problems with berth allocation were investigated, and a methodology was devised to reduce departure delays and total service time, endeavour to reduce demurrage as penalty cost. This study is being carried out in response to recent massive congestions from an Oil and Gas refinery terminal in one of Malaysian safe ports which have been caused by a boom in oil trading and fuel bunkering.
