Abstract
Productivity at the berth is one from the group of port productivity measures which is closely tied to ship turnaround times. Gross berth productivity between a ship’s arrival and departure from berth is among the broadest definitions of productivity. Net berth productivity is value of productivity related to the operational time at the berth. Based on the recognized facts from available literature about minor share of researches related to the berth productivity in the handling process with dry bulk cargoes in a multipurpose seaport, it was decided to take this port productivity metrics as an object of a research. Concrete results shown in this paper are related to the Dry Bulk Cargo Terminal in the Port of Bar. By the consideration done in this paper is confirmed starting hypothesis about significant differences between gross and net berth productivity (about significant share of nonoperational time in the total berthing time).
