Abstract
In general, the problem of the EU flagged ships’ competitiveness is considered to be of extreme importance for the whole marine industry. In this paper we will present a new electronic tool for the calculation of the benefits that a shipowner may have, if the ports in which his vessel operates, would implement automated loading/discharging systems in order to achieve smaller port turnaround times. The electronic tool can also calculate the benefit that a shipowner may have by implementing automated loading/discharging onboard his vessel.
