Stochastic Processes of Port's Bulk Loading Terminal

Necessity for studying the processes in bulk cargo ports, which are the objects of research in this paper, follows from the fact that many real processes, which are characterized with unpredictability and changeability, are called stochastic because the parameters that determine these processes are the stochastic ones. In this paper the theoretical features of the Poisson process and a non-Poisson process, related to the queue will be given. This type of the queue, marked with M/D/1 by the Kendall notation, characterizes Poisson distribution of entity arrivals and deterministic distribution of service time. The main goal of this paper is to define port's bulk cargo terminal as the queuing system and then set up the appropriate model in which the loading terminal is determined as queuing system of type M/D/1. Subsequently, the model set up will be tested on the real example of the port's bulk cargo loading terminal in Bakar. On the basis of this model, the operating of the port can be determined with the purpose of making decisions for further running of the business.
