Study
Berth occupancy review
When the logs already exist and the committee only needs occupancy drawn clearly, a berth occupancy review is the shorter commission.
Who it is for
Terminal operators and harbour clerks who can supply a movements book covering at least one full season.
Operators with existing call logs who want occupancy drawn clearly before a committee paper.
What you receive
Occupancy charts by berth, with idle clusters marked against shift changes, lock times, or published sailing slots.
Scope
Up to four named berths at one site. Crane or ramp overlays are available as an extra.
Included
- Log review and a clarification call
- Occupancy charts and a five-to-eight page note
- One round of corrections on names and berth labels
Not included
- On-quay days, unless added
- Interviews beyond the nominated clerk
- A full harbour activity study narrative
Who carries out the work
Content Craftline, Blackstone.
How the work proceeds
- Send the log. Paper scans are fine. Spreadsheet exports are fine. Mixed years are not.
- Clarify gaps. We telephone about missing days, dual-occupied berths, and lay-by use.
- Draw and return. You receive charts and a short note. We brief by telephone unless you ask to sit together.
Time
Ten to fifteen working days from a usable log.
Where the work happens
Remote from Blackstone, with an optional visit if the log cannot be copied.
What we ask you to prepare
A key to berth names and a note on which berths take bunkering.
Limits we will not stretch
We will not invent occupancy for days the book leaves blank.
Fee basis
From £1,850. Crane-cycle overlay from £600 extra.
Rates are informational. There is no payment on this site. Instruct us by writing; we send a letter of engagement before any on-quay day is booked.
