ASSESSMENT OF LOGISTICS INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICE INDICATORS IN BLACK SEA ECONOMIC COOPERATION (BSEC) COUNTRIES

Öz

In line with the increasing importance of global logistics efficiency, the analysis of countries’ strengths and weak-nesses in logistics performance indicators has become a strategic necessity for regional integration and global competitiveness. This study aims to evaluate the logistics infrastructure and service indicators of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) countries using an integrated Entropy–EDAS approach, which is among the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods. In this context, the study utilizes the data from the Logistics Perfor-mance Index (LPI) published by the World Bank for the years 2016, 2018, and 2023. The sub-components of the index—namely customs management, infrastructure, international shipments, quality of logistics services, tracking and tracing, and timeliness—were incorporated into the analysis as criteria. The twelve BSEC member countries were defined as the alternatives. The weights of the criteria were objectively calculated through the Entropy method, while the logistics performance of the BSEC countries was ranked using the EDAS method. Ac-cording to the Entropy-based weighting, timeliness was identified as the most influential criterion affecting logis-tics performance in both 2016 and 2023. The findings indicate that Turkey ranked first in terms of logistics per-formance among BSEC countries in 2016, followed by Greece and Romania in second and third place, respective-ly. In 2018, Greece rose to the top, with Turkey and Romania ranking second and third again. This order re-mained unchanged in 2023. On the other hand, Albania, Armenia, Georgia, and Moldova consistently ranked lowest in terms of logistics infrastructure and service indicators across the analyzed years. The results obtained provide an objective assessment of the customs procedures, infrastructure, and logistics service levels of BSEC countries and offer policy recommendations aimed at enhancing regional logistics strategies.
