Within the scope of Turkish Strategic Plan, it is to be aimed to improve port competitiveness with capacity expansion and develop occupational standards by creating strategic documents and master plans. For all these strategies to be successful, Turkish ports should be reached to a level of which can compete with other rival ports by the nature of the market. Therefore, the study aims to investigate the current port selection criteria in the literature in terms of the sustainable competitive advantage of container ports. A systematic literature review was preferred as the research method. As a result of the research, the cost criterion is found to have the highest values in the hierarchy.

Öz

Türkiye’nin Stratejik Planları kapsamında, denizcilik alanında strateji belgeleri ve ana planlar oluşturularak ülkemizin konteyner liman kapasitesi ve rekabetçiliğinin arttırılması ve liman işletmeciliği meslek standartlarının geliştirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Tüm bu stratejilerin başarılı olması için, doğası gereği uluslararası bir alanda hizmet veren Türkiye limanlarının, bölgesindeki diğer ülke limanlarıyla rekabet edebilecek seviyeye ulaşması gerekmektedir. Bu yüzden, çalışma konteyner limanlarımızın sürdürülebilir rekabetçi üstünlüğü açısından literatürde yer alan güncel liman seçim kriterlerini araştırmayı hedeflemektedir. Araştırma yöntemi olarak sistematik literatür taraması tercih edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda maliyet faktörlerinin hiyerarşide en yüksek değere sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
