Abstract

The utilization of floating fuel stations, specialized facilities dedicated to refueling vessels within port boundaries, has gained prominence as a means to enhance port productivity. This comprehensive study investigates the efficacy of implementing floating fuel stations in seaports, focusing on their impact on port efficiency. Through the application of meticulous performance metrics and operational evaluations, the research aims to critically assess the advantages and challenges of this innovative approach. By exploring both the benefits and drawbacks, the study endeavors to pinpoint crucial factors contributing to the success of floating fuel stations. The findings will not only foster a deeper understanding of port productivity but also provide insightful perspectives on the maritime industry's overall efficiency and sustainability. Transcending the mere observation of current practices, the study formulates recommendations for future implementations based on a thorough analysis of diverse evaluation techniques. This research thus contributes significantly to the ongoing dialogue on optimizing port operations through innovative solutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
