Abstract

In order to determine an optimum number of berths of a fishing harbor, the queuing theory is applied in the light of the national fishing vessel, harbor and activities. Waiting time of fishing vessels outside the harbor and in queue is calculated in accordance with the considered queuing model. Here, the theoretical distributions representing the actual vessel arrival and service time distributions are determined. For the economic considerations, cost estimate studies including cost of harbor and waiting vessels are carried out. Both proposed mathematical and economical model are applied on Guzelbah^e fishing harbor. 1 Introduction It is known that a harbor is the facility composed of the naturally or artifically sheltered water area , water-landside facilities to provide some utilities and services
