An application of multi-criteria analysis to the location of a container hub …

The South African container port system is subject to a major revision of the existing port hierarchy. The aim is to move away from a set of gateway ports to a hub port configuration. Such a shift would allow the South African port system to benefit better from market dynamics. This paper deals with the application of multi-criteria analysis (MCA) to the evaluation of three alternative location…

An Application of DEA Windows Analysis to Container Port Production Efficiency

There have been various analyses of the efficiency of container port (or terminal) production using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) based on cross-sectional data. When time is not considered, the efficiency results derived using this approach can be biased. In order to overcome this problem, this paper applies DEA windows analysis, utilising panel data, to a sample of the world’s major contai…

A new method for detecting outliers in Data Envelopment Analysis

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a computationally convenient way to measure efficiency that does not require an explicit functional relationship between inputs and outputs. However, because the frontier is constructed using extreme observations, DEA can be sensitive to extreme points, especially when data may be contaminated by measurement error. In such settings, the technical efficiency sc…

Analysis of dynamic effects on seaports adopting port security policy

Policy variables, such as security levels at seaports, affect port efficiency in a non-linear way while other factors affecting efficiency at ports such as a number of berths, the area of port yard, and the number of port labors have linear structural relation. Ensuring a certain level of regulations can increase port efficiency, while an excess of the level may result in the reverse of these g…
