Purpose- The ports,
which are a gateway to international trade, directly affects the country's
economy, so their efficiency has vital role for all countries. With the scarce
resources, effective usage of inputs become important. Input factors like
terminal area or number of docks are hard to improve or if possible are very
cost-oriented. Therefore, using this limited factors to their maximum capacity
becomes one of the main problem in port management.
Methodology- In order to
increase ports efficiency, firstly their actual performances should be
determined. With respect to this aspect, in this study port authority’s
efficiencies are compared with data envelopment analysis.
Findings- Ambarlı and
İzmir port authorities are found as the most efficient and İskenderun is found
as least efficient one.
Conclusion: Performance
measurement is the first step to improve performance. In this study, port
authority’s efficiency is compared and results are shared.
