Description: The total time spent by a vessel in a particular port. It includes the maneuvering in MI time, the maneuvering out MO time, the operations time, and the waiting time.
Key Concepts: Port time is the time a vessel spends in port. It includes the time spent waiting to enter the port, unloading and loading cargo, and leaving the port. It is an important factor in determining the efficiency of a vessel's voyage. How to use it: Port time is used to calculate the total voyage time of a vessel. This is done by subtracting the port time from the total voyage time. This helps to determine how much time was spent actually sailing, as opposed to waiting in port. Tips & Tricks: When calculating port time, it is important to take into account any delays that may have occurred due to weather or other factors. This will help ensure that the total voyage time is accurate. Related Information: Port time is closely related to turnaround time, which is the total amount of time a vessel spends in port from arrival to departure. It is also related to dwell time, which is the amount of time a vessel spends in port without any cargo operations taking place.
