Ras Laffan is situated along the NorthEast coast of Qatar overlooking the Arabian Gulf. Its strategic location at the center of the Arabian Gulf, between the Far East and Europe on the international maritime shipping route, enables hydro carbon products to be efficiently transported to markets all over the world. The project team identifies risks for waiting times in the port rules and recommended preferred port rules having the lowest chance on waiting time, whilst having the highest port through put potential. Additionally, the team drafted berthing procedures and queuing priority rules. This extensive study is an important element in the development of the Ras Laffan and Mesaieed ports, ensuring it is ready for the future.
