In the ocean fuel transportation industry, the optimization of bunkering operations depends on price, position, delays from the expected route, and the cost of delays caused by the bunker operations themselves. Despite their potential importance, detailed bunker activity statistics at each port of call (e.g: waiting time, barge capacity, berth, or berth) are not available. A greater hid deviation from the usual method is that the provider, therefore, arrives past due for a bunker mission. The purchaser commonly has a time slot wherein it anchors as much as acquire bunker. If the bunker barge arrives past due, the purchaser can be beneath neath time strain because of closing dates for shipment, which may also reason the purchaser to interrupt the bunker operation earlier than the agreed quantity of bunker is supplied. This is obtainable confined interest from transport businesses and charterers because the fraudulent quantity is thought to be negligible. However, studies have recommended that the aggregated quantity of misplaced bunker is of big value. To screen such conduct we intend to make use of Automatic Identification System (AIS) statistics from bunker barges and numerous vessels they supply.
