Nobody has yet been able to determine the optimal solution conclusively whether NP-complete problems are in fact solvable in polynomial time. Gu$\acute{e}$ret et al. tries to obtain the optimal solution using linear programming with $O(m^4)$ time complexity for barge loading problem a kind of bin packing problem that is classified as nondeterministic polynomial time (NP)-complete problem. On the other hand, this paper suggests the loading rule of profit priority rank algorithm with O(m log m) time complexity. This paper decides the profit priority rank firstly. Then, we obtain the initial loading result using the rule of loading the good has profit priority order. Finally, we balance the loading and capability of barge swap the goods of unloading in previously loading in case of under loading. As a result of experiments, this algorithm reduces the $O(m^4)$ of linear programming to O(m log m) time complexity for NP-complete barge loading problem.
