Akdeniz Havzası Konteyner Limanları Verimlilik Analizi

Abstract

Akdeniz Havzası, Doğu-Batı hatları ve Asya-Afrika pazarlarına yakınlığıyla küresel konteyner taşımacılığında kritik bir konuma sahiptir. Artan trafik, bölgedeki limanlar arasında verimlilik odaklı rekabeti hızlandırmıştır. Bu çalışma, Akdeniz’deki 25 büyük konteyner limanının 2023 yılı performansını, girdi-yönelimli CCR Veri Zarflama Analizi (VZA) ile değerlendirmektedir. Girdiler terminal alanı (ha), rıhtım uzunluğu (m) ve rıhtım derinliği (m); çıktı ise elleçlenen TEU miktarıdır. Sonuçlar, Tanger Med, Piraeus ve Algeciras limanlarının tam etkin (θ = 1,000) olduğunu; geri kalan limanların etkinlik skorlarının 0,84-0,04 aralığında ve genel ortalama θ’nın 0,53 olduğunu göstermektedir. Özellikle 11 limanın θ < 0,500 değeri, mevcut altyapıya kıyasla düşük elleçleme kapasitesine işaret etmektedir. Bulgular, altyapının etkin kullanımını artırmak için operasyon akışlarının hızlandırılması, kara/demiryolu bağlantılarının güçlendirilmesi ve talebe duyarlı kapasite planlamasının önemini vurgulamaktadır.
