“…Maria Rios and de Sousa [40] used cluster analysis to classify 17 Brazilian container terminals into three distinct groups based on competitiveness criteria using a hierarchical cluster analysis. Tovar and Rodríguez-Déniz [41] reviewed the literature on classification methods for port efficiency and applied a frontier-based clustering approach to classify Brazilian ports for efficiency benchmarking.…”

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has many advantages for analyzing the efficiency of decision-making units, as well as drawbacks, such as a lack of discrimination power. This study applied bi-objective multiple-criteria data envelopment analysis (BiO-MCDEA), a programming approach used to overcome the limitations of traditional DEA models, to analyze the efficiency of 20 Brazilian ports with a consideration of six input and one output variables from 2010 to 2016. Two time-related variables were included to reflect current problems faced by Brazilian ports experiencing long wait times. The results reveal a significant disparity in port efficiency among Brazilian ports. The top five most efficient ports are those with the highest cargo throughput. A clustering analysis also confirmed a strong correlation between cargo throughput and port efficiency scores. Total time of stay, pier length, and courtyard also had strong correlations with the efficiency scores. The clustering method divided Brazilian ports into three groups: efficient ports, medium efficient ports, and inefficient ports.

“…Recent research on ship emissions based on high-definition traffic information (vessel tracks with an update rate of one minute) has been pursued in Las Palmas Port (Tichavska and Tovar, 2015a). 49 Regarding transhipment, the international hub in the Canary Islands is located in Las Palmas port (Tovar et al, 2015). Driven mainly by container operations, the transshipment traffic in Las Palmas Port has reached a rate close to 69%, whereas Tenerife port focus its container traffic merely on the domestic market.…”

I could not start this section without firstly expressing my most sincere and infinite gratitude to my supervisor Prof. Beatriz Tovar. None of this would have been possible without her inestimable personal support, and professional excellence. Moreover, I would like to thank Prof. Francisco Cabrera, Prof. Victor Araña, members of the Institute for Technological Development and Innovation in Communications (IDeTIC) for allowing me to partly build my thesis within their premises. I am certain that the positive, entrepreneurial and collaborative environment to which I was exposed has represented a milestone within this process. I would also like to acknowledge the support and collaboration of international researchers that I have met along the way. Particularly to Dr. Dimitris Lekkas, Dr. Argyrios Stasinakis, Mr. Demitris Memos and the MarineTraffic team. Also to Dr.

“…En este contexto, el transporte como factor de competitividad obliga a ciudades y territorios a buscar estrategias para incorporarse en las redes globales de distribución y suministro. Aunque factores tradicionales como la situación siguen siendo fundamentales (Savy, M., 2004) para la nueva red mundial de transporte de mercancías, la seguridad jurídica, la agilidad aduanera, la accesibilidad y la conectividad que otorgan los actuales medios de gestión y de transporte son determinantes importantes para mantener bajo control los costes del transporte internacional (Tovar B., et al, 2015). Ubicaciones centrales e intermedias se identifican como cualidades espaciales que mejoran los niveles de tráfico de los centros de transporte y, por lo tanto, indican qué lugares se ubican estratégicamente dentro de los sistemas de transporte globales o regionales (Fleming, D. K., y Hayuth, Y., 1994).…”

El proceso de globalización requiere que los actores locales y regionales se incorporen en las redes y flujos económicos internacionales para lograr la competitividad y el desarrollo económico. Ello supone cambios que modifican los impactos y alcance de las infraestructuras de transporte. En el caso de la distribución de mercancías, el transporte aéreo supone un volumen reducido sobre el total de la carga internacional, donde solo unos cuantos aeropuertos centralizan la mayor parte del mismo. En España únicamente cuatro son relevantes en la gestión de carga aérea, en especial de la internacional. Esta investigación caracteriza los principales patrones de la carga aérea en los aeropuertos españoles mediante el análisis de su evolución reciente en torno a diferentes variables, evaluando algunos cambios notables que están modificando la jerarquía aérea.
