Highlights Proposes new port performance measure: the port congestion probability. Performance measure based on the recent theory of cargo port choice equilibrium. Analytical expression derived for the worst case port congestion probability. Numerical analysis reveals how the port congestion probability can be managed.
Abstract This paper proposes and studies the port congestion probability as a new port performance measure for seaports. We build on the recently introduced theory of cargo port choice equilibrium, where shippers and cargo port service providers at seaports are making their port choices while taking into account each other’s decisions. A closed-form expression for the (worst-case) port congestion probability is derived under reasonable assumptions. Sensitivity analysis is conducted to demonstrate how the port congestion probability can be managed when it gets unacceptably large.
