Abstract

With a view to obtaining varied (but complementary) information with which to identify relatively efficient and inefficient terminals, this study adopts DEA-CCR and DEA-BCC models which are chosen from among several DEA models not only to identify the efficiency value of each terminal, but also to explore the either constant or variable returns to scale of the port production. In addition, for ordering the efficient terminals, the DEA-Super-Efficiency has been adopted.
