PERFORMANCE INDICATORS AND PORT PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
This paper presents a methodology for selecting performance indicators for evaluating a port's performance with respect to its economic (rather than its engineering) optimum throughput. Performance indicators are choice variables for optimizing the port's economic objective(s) and include the port's prices and operating options (for differentiating service.) If changes in these indicators have opposite effects on port performance, a single (or overall performance indicator is recommended for evaluating a port's performance.
