Abstract

Although optimization of Vessel Turnaround Time (VTT) is a well-known research problem and its importance has long been understood, research on dry bulk carriers VTT has no priority in the available literature. It is one of the initial motives of the author to write this paper. After a general theoretical introduction, this paper presents research on dry bulk carriers’ loading time, as a component with the dominant share in the total VTT. Through the research, a mathematical model of interdependencies between dry bulk carrier‘s loading time and selected independent variables is defined using a multiple linear regression model. Results of statistical significance tests confirmed that the best-fit regression model is the one which adequately describes the correlation between the dry bulk carrier‘s loading time and the following independent variables: cargo quantity (loaded), number of used cranes per vessel and loading process interruptions. The presented results establish important bases for the author’s further research in this field as well as reliable planning bases for cargo handling management processes at dry bulk cargo terminals where cargo loading/unloading to/from vessels is realized by gantry cranes and/or mobile harbour cranes.
