<![CDATA[This research investigates the development of integrated operational systems connecting terminal and ship operations for docking and berthing time optimization through systematic analysis of historical data. Port efficiency depends critically on minimizing vessel turnaround time, with berth allocation, docking procedures, and cargo operations coordination determining overall port productivity and competitiveness. Through qualitative analysis involving port operators, terminal managers, ship agents, harbor masters, and operations research specialists, this study examines how historical operational data can inform intelligent coordination systems improving berthing efficiency. Results demonstrate that data-driven integration systems incorporating predictive analytics, automated scheduling, and coordinated workflows can reduce average berth turnaround time by 15-30%, improve berth utilization by 20-35%, and decrease operational conflicts by 40-60% through optimized allocation and proactive coordination. Key implementation challenges include data quality and availability, system integration complexity, organizational coordination barriers, and resistance to automated decision support. Findings reveal that historical data-based optimization represents transformative advancement from experience-based scheduling to evidence-driven operational planning supporting port efficiency enhancement, capacity maximization, and service reliability improvement. This research contributes to port operations literature by providing practical frameworks for data-driven berthing optimization applicable to diverse port operational contexts.]]>
