Connecting terminal operations and vessel traffic, Berth Capacity Planning Tool (BCPT) is a useful tool in assessing berth capacity of any terminal layout. It is the first of its kind in the market that incorporates berth allocation at the operational level while enforcing vessel navigation in the waterways to comply with COLREGS, so as to evaluate the impact of such behaviors on the berth demand and therefore berth capacity.
BCPT has been customized for use by MPA and a future scenario study has been conducted using the same, to demonstrate the features and utility of the tool.
