Method and apparatus to improve computer and database systems for location, operation, call, update, and supply

An electronic device, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing instructions adapted to be executed by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• generating a first ranking of a plurality of ports based on locational data of the vessel and net delivery costs of the lubricant product at the plurality of ports;
• generating a second ranking of the plurality of ports based on lubricant-supplying facilities present at the plurality of ports and market clearing prices of the lubricant product at the plurality of ports;
• and
• selecting one of the plurality of the ports based on the first ranking and the second ranking;
• and
• presenting the selected port as the port where the lubricant product is to be supplied to the vessel.

A method of optimizing a supply of a lubricant product to a vessel, comprising:

• generating, by a processor, a first ranking of a plurality of ports based on locational data of the vessel;
• generating, by the processor, a second ranking of the plurality of ports based on the locational data of the vessel and net delivery costs of the lubricant product at the plurality of ports;
• generating, by the processor, a third ranking of the plurality of ports based on the locational data of the vessel and prices of the lubricant product at the plurality of ports;
• and
• selecting one of the plurality of the ports based on the first, second, and third rankings;
• and
• supplying the lubricant product to the vessel at the selected port.
