“…Valentine and Gray(2001) went further and compared port efficiency to determine a relationship between ownership and organizational structure with efficiency. Ryoo(2006) focused on the efficiency measurement of major container terminals in Asia and container terminal operations in Busan and Kwangyang ports (Ryoo, 2005 (Charnes et al, 1978) and have multiple inputs and multiple outputs. Among the advantages of using DEA, it should be mentioned that this methodology does not impose any functional form to the production function or on the shape of returns to scale and that it enables dealing with multiple output process (Park, 2006).…”

: Recently, the fierce competitions in the shipping industry and the global economic downturn have heavily influenced ports' operational strategies. In order for port authorities to remain competitive at an international level and to provide more accurate information to develop National policies, ports are required to analyse and improve operations' efficiency. In this paper, the efficiency of 19 Italian ports in 2013, handling different types of cargoes, is assessed through the application of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), with constant return to scale (CRS) and variable return to scale (VRS). The purpose of this study is to analyze the efficiency of Italian ports and evaluate whether differences in size and specialization of each port (or cargo handled) are directly correlated with ports' efficiency.
