Download the ARA Ports Benchmark Report (2024–2025) for a clear, data-driven view of tanker port performance across Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Antwerp. Based on 25,000+ tanker port calls, it benchmarks Port Turnaround Time from end to end: waiting, sailing in/out, time alongside, and shifting. Now you can see where time is truly lost and what’s driving cost and emissions.
Inside, you’ll find year-over-year comparisons, port-level insights, and practical takeaways to improve berth readiness, reduce waiting, and increase reliability across the ARA cluster. Whether you’re a shipowner, charterer, terminal operator, or port stakeholder, this report gives you a shared performance baseline and a straightforward framework to track improvements over time.
What can you do with the benchmark report?
- Ship owners and charterers: You can translate waiting and shifting directly into costs, fuel consumption, and emission, strengthening your position in negotiations and voyage planning decisions. You can initiate data-supported conversations to improve alignment on arrival strategies that prevent unnecessary idle days.
- Terminals: Quantifying how coordination gaps reduce effective berth capacity can support decisions on scheduling improvements. This way, you can lower system-wide cost and increase customer satisfaction.
- Port authorities: The benchmark helps identify whether inefficiencies stem from infrastructure constraints or operational misalignment. This creates the ground needed for conversations with stakeholders and prioritizing investments that deliver measurable impact.
