This paper describes a methodology

This paper describes a methodology designed to support the decision-making process by developing
seaport infrastructure to meet future demand. In order to determine an optimum number of berths at a
sea port, the queuing theory is applied in the light of port facilities and activities. The aim is to avoid
inadvertent over and under-building. Within this methodology, the movements in port should firstly be
analyzed. The waiting time of vessels outside the port and in queue is calculated in accordance with the
considered queuing model. The theoretical functions representing the actual vessel arrival and service
time distributions are determined. For the economic considerations, cost estimate studies including
cost of port and waiting vessels are carried out. Finally, the optimum number of berths that minimizes
the total port costs can be decided. Both proposed mathematical and economical models are applied to
Alexandria port in Egypt.
