THE DETERMINATION OF TURKISH CONTAINER PORTS PERFORMANCE WITH TOPSIS MULTIPLE CRITERIA DECISION MAKING METHOD

Abstract

Purpose-
Ports have a leading role on affecting country and regional economy with the
development of international trade. With the world trading volume increasing
day by day the performance of ports and terminals, which provide export,
import, transit, local or regional transportation services, must be examined
regularly in order for their maximum capacity to be utilized. Furthermore, due
to the high costs of infrastructure and superstructure investments of container
ports, long term plans and strategies are required.
This
study aims to evaluate the performance of 20 container ports operating in
Turkey by examining the performance criteria of container ports in the world.
Methodology-
For this reason, when calculating the maximum capacity utilization of the
ports, the main principle is to examine the effective utilization of all the
inputs using various methods. In this study, the performance of 20 container
ports operating in Turkey, has been analysed with the TOPSIS (Technique for
Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) method, using non-financial
data from 2015. 

Findings- As
a result of the analysis, the values that show the overall performance of the
ports were converted into a single score with the help of the TOPSIS method and
port performances were evaluated by comparatively examining the results
obtained. Mersin port, Ambarlı Marport and Kumport derived first with the
highest performance.

Conclusion- Port performance measurement has
an important requirement for maritime transport. The high performance of
container ports improve the productivity of the production such as labour and
capital.
