Abstract

We consider a single-server queue subject to multiple types of operation-independent interruptions motivated by operations and vessel queueing at entrances of waterways. A case in point is the Strait of Istanbul. We are using waiting-time arguments and service completion time analysis to obtain the expected waiting time of a customer (vessel) in the aforementioned queue with single-class of customers and k non-simultaneous and possibly simultaneous service interruptions. In the analysis, we have used arguments and assumptions from the Strait of Istanbul that are also valid for narrow waterways at large. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2009
