Asian Port Performance Dimensions and Analyses: a Systematic Literature Review

Abstract


 
 
 
 Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the performance dimensions and performance analysis techniques applied in studies of Asian port performance
 
 Theoretical framework: The lack of literature in the context of port performance dimensions in Asian was the theoretical basis of the study. A related study on Asian port performance was analysed and listed in the study based on thematic approach.
 
 Design/methodology/approach: The PRISMA Statement (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) was used to guide this research, based on the databases of the two most prominent sources of articles which is Web of Science and Scopus.
 
 Findings: This review identified four main categories surrounding the dimensions of port performance, those being operational dimensions, dimensions surrounding customers’ perspectives, logistical dimensions, and organizational dimensions. Furthermore, the following three performance analysis approaches were identified as being preferred by researchers of the Asian region: efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness.
 
 Research, Practical & Social implications: The current findings of this research have shown that most studies on Asian ports focus on their efficiency and competitiveness rather than their productivity. A productivity survey might give a better overview of port performance as it concerns the actual output of the ports.
 
 Originality/value: The systematic literature review (SLR) approach were hardly found in study of port performance. At the same time, the PRISMA method were applied to synthesized previous studies on port performance in Asian is another niche of the study.

“…This output reveals that the productivity dimension is the most important, responding for 37% of the relative priority, followed by operational costs (24%), equipment and infrastructure (15%), yard/warehouse capacity/occupation (13%) and equipment maintenance (10%). This result agrees with the study of Jamain, Zakaria and Satar (2023), reinforcing the relevance to manage productivity indicators in order to become more competitive. In this way, a more productive seaport will draw attention from shippers and ship-owners, which are looking for faster logistics services.…”

Evaluation Performance of Service Facilities at Ferry Port Bajoe Village, Southeast Sulawesi

“…Therefore, to develop the port and ensure its stability in service facilities, it was necessary to regularly evaluate port performance to identify areas of improvement and development needed [13]. Until now, various studies have been conducted on the performance of ports, and one of the most prominent types of port performance analysis was the evaluation of port characteristic performance [14]. The port evaluation was better done by involving passenger perceptions, not only from the port [15].…”
