Vessel Turnaround Times
Figure 9 shows monthly average vessel turnaround times for oil & gas supply vessels was 18 hours
(19 hours in 2009/10). Maintenance of this port efficiency KPI leads to an increase in berth
availability, which is required to counter the onset of port congestion due to recurrent peaking in
wharf usage above 60%. There were no oil & gas supply vessels visiting from December 2010 –
February 2011.
