Abstract
The article discusses and analyzes the actual task of determining the location of LNG bunker fuel transshipment complexes. A method for solving this problem based on the Ardalan heuristic method has been proposed, while determining main factors influencing the economic efficiency of the fuel delivery system from the point of view of the bunkering company. Calculation results may be used in the technical and economic assessment of the newly created infrastructure and the scientifically based choice of the fuel delivery scheme depending on the volume. The proposed method can also be used to estimate the location of other enterprises servicing ships and having an unfixed service radius. The solution of the problem of determining the location of transshipment complexes of bunker liquefied natural fuel has also been given using the ports of the Baltic Sea as an example.
Keywords: transshipment complex, bunkering vessel, bunkering base, bunkering, liquefied natural gas, ship calls.
