Systems Navigator supports defining new port rules that maximise the port’s potential now and into the future

The Port of Duqm in Oman is drafting port rules for its liquid jetties and has selected Systems Navigator as the consultant to analyse their impact on the foreseen port performance. The company will also provide advice on the rules that maximise potential port capacity.

In order to do this, multiple port scenarios are analysed and compared. By quantifying the impact of different port rules the project team was able to develop a thorough understanding of important performance indicators, such as berth occupancy and waiting times.

The project team identified risks for waiting times in the port rules and recommended preferred port rules having the lowest chance on waiting time, whilst having the highest port throughput potential. Additionally, the team drafted berthing procedures and queuing priority rules. This extensive study is an important element in the development of the Port of Duqm, ensuring it is ready for the future.
