Summary/Abstract: Nowadays in the contemporary maritime business a leading role is played by the sea ports and particularly their internal organization. In the present paper the authors analyze the optimization of the distribution of incoming ships among port berths, which is more from point of view of economics and mathematics, rather than technical. Two of the most important criteria are taken into consideration – time wasting and financial costs during the basic port operations. The economic-mathematical model is based on the combination of these factors and some other constraints. The authors not only explain their idea but they add particular examples with a demonstration of the simple online calculations.
