[0002] Ports are crucial nodes in domestic and international trade, indispensable comprehensive transportation hubs, and strategic resources and vital supports for economic and social development, playing a vital role in national economic and trade development. With the continuous development of global trade, maritime trade between countries is becoming increasingly frequent, leading to more severe port congestion. Currently, port congestion has spread to all major ports worldwide, with an increasing number of container ships from all five continents waiting for berths. Ships stranded at port anchorages are exacerbating the pressure on global shipping and supply chains.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0024] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the method flow of the present invention;
[0025] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the analysis of port operation efficiency data indicators according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, as shown in the figures:
[0027] The real-time port operation efficiency analysis method of the present invention includes the following steps:
[0028] Data acquisition and processing steps: Based on AIS data, a data model is constructed. Using this data model as a foundation and incorporating time attributes, vessel and port information at any given time is obtained. This vessel and port information includes vessel status information, port status information, and berth status information. Based on the aforementioned data model and the dynamics of time, a basic model describing vessel dynamics and port berth dynamics can be constructed. The vessel and port information at any given time forms a data slice of vessel and port dynamics, facilitating subsequent sampling and statistical analysis of these data slices. The AIS data is existing Automatic Identification System (AIS) data.
[0029] The monitoring indicator calculation steps are as follows: Based on the data model and the ship and port information, several monitoring indicators of the target port are sampled N times a day to calculate the daily average value corresponding to each monitoring indicator, and the daily average value is used as the statistical value of the monitoring indicator. Considering the massive amount of AIS data, a sampling frequency of N times per day ensures timely sampling of the massive data. The number of sampling times N can be set according to the actual situation. The daily average value is the total value of the monitoring indicator obtained from N samplings per day divided by N. Through the above steps, the statistical values of several monitoring indicators are obtained.
[0030] Port operation efficiency analysis steps: Using the statistical values of monitoring indicators as the data source, and employing candlestick chart analysis methods, analyze the operation efficiency of the target port under several monitoring indicators. Specifically, by using candlestick charts, moving average trends can be viewed and analyzed, thus providing a more intuitive analysis and view of the target port's operation efficiency under each monitoring indicator.
[0031] In this embodiment, the data model includes an AIS data model, a ship data model, a port data model, and a berth data model;
[0032] The AIS data model includes vessel name, time, vessel position, and navigation status; the vessel data model includes vessel name, MMSI, vessel type, vessel length, vessel width, and vessel deadweight tonnage; the port data model includes port name, port code, port location, port time zone, and port berths; the berth data model includes berth name, berth type, berth location, berth depth, cargo type, and loading / unloading attributes.
[0033] In this embodiment, the monitoring indicators include average waiting time, average operation time, average dwell time, number of vessels at anchor, number of vessels at berth, number of vessels in port, anchoring time, operation time, and dwell time in port. Specifically, the average waiting time is the average waiting time for berthed vessels over a 7-day period; the average operation time is the average operation time for departing vessels over a 7-day period; the average dwell time is the average dwell time for departing vessels over a 7-day period; the number of vessels at anchor is the current number of vessels at anchor; the number of vessels at berth is the current number of vessels at berth; the number of vessels in port is the current number of vessels in port; the anchoring time is the average anchoring time for currently anchored vessels; the operation time is the average operation time for currently berthed vessels; and the dwell time in port is the average dwell time for currently docked vessels. The nine monitoring indicators established above form a set of evaluation systems for the operational efficiency of target ports, providing timely port monitoring and analysis services for cargo owners, freight forwarding companies, trucking companies and other shipping and logistics service providers. This helps stakeholders adjust their business layout in a timely manner and provides corresponding analytical basis for improving port operational efficiency.
[0034] In this embodiment, the port operation efficiency analysis step also combines berth type, number of berths, berth occupancy status, and remaining number of berths to estimate the ship operation status in port, thereby assisting in the analysis of port operation efficiency.
[0035] This embodiment also includes a comprehensive monitoring and analysis step: based on port operation efficiency analysis, port dynamics, through-connectivity analysis, flow analysis, port monitoring, and cargo volume statistics are performed according to ship type, historical route information, historical port call information, and real-time ship dynamic information. The real-time ship dynamic information includes ship navigation status, ship arrival status, ship departure status, ship anchoring status, ship refueling status, and ship repair status. Using a single port as the analysis base, combined with ship AIS information, historical calls are summarized, current berthed / anchored ships are queried, and future arriving ships are predicted. Simultaneously, by combining ship AIS information, lists of ships expected to arrive at the port and ships in different statuses such as anchoring, navigation, berthing, and repair can be displayed, thereby achieving the purpose of port monitoring and flow analysis. The ship list can be categorized and labeled according to ship type and ship dynamics, thereby filtering out ships that meet the target conditions to facilitate port operation efficiency analysis. Displaying the arrival and transshipment connectivity of the target port by time, number of vessels, and deadweight tonnage enables through-connectivity analysis of the port.
[0036] The present invention also relates to a real-time port operation efficiency analysis system, which corresponds to the above-mentioned real-time port operation efficiency analysis method and can be understood as a system that implements the above-mentioned method.
[0037] The system includes a data acquisition and processing module, a monitoring indicator calculation module, and a port operation efficiency analysis module connected in sequence.

[0039] The monitoring indicator calculation module: Based on the data model and the ship and port information, it performs N data samplings per day on several monitoring indicators of the target port, calculates the daily average value corresponding to each of the several monitoring indicators, and uses the daily average value as the statistical value of the monitoring indicator.
[0040] The port operation efficiency analysis module uses the statistical values of monitoring indicators as the data source and employs candlestick chart analysis methods to analyze the operation efficiency of the target port under several monitoring indicators.

[0042] In this embodiment, the monitoring indicators include average waiting time, average operation time, average dwell time, number of anchored vessels, number of vessels at berth, number of vessels in port, anchoring time, operation time, and time in port.
[0043] In this embodiment, the port operation efficiency analysis module also estimates the ship operation status in port by combining berth type, number of berths, berth occupancy status and remaining number of berths, thus assisting in the analysis of port operation efficiency.
[0044] This embodiment also includes a comprehensive monitoring and analysis module connected to the port operation efficiency analysis module.
