“…The first step in conducting relative efficiency analysis is to define the characteristics that best describe seaport performance [36]. Second, we have to take into account the unit number to define the variables or the number of variables for a determined sample.…”

“…Most recently, a growing body of literature deploying a variety of approaches has emerged dealing with efficiency issues in seaports [4,9,12,13,17,23,32,35,36]. The basic premise underlying the concept of efficiency is that no output can be produced without resources (inputs) and that these resources are scarce.…”

“…Another researcher Lee et al [30] employed the recursive DEA model, which constitutes a multi stage DEA model. Many researchers have implemented contemporaneous and windows analysis to examine the efficiency in intervals of time [1,17,20,29,36]. Hung et al [26] used the bootstrapped DEA in order to reduce the statistical noise of the basic DEA models.…”

Purpose This paper aims to evaluate the competitiveness of Iberian seaports through efficiency using an alternative DEA approach (Data Envelopment Analysis) and identifies explicit causes of inefficiency. Methods This paper applying an alternative DEA approach (three stage DEA model) to provide a more useful insight about the cause of efficiency or inefficiency of the seaports. Results and conclusions The average efficiency score under CCR equal to 83.74 meaning that, on average, the seaports analysed could operate at 83.74 % of their current levels while still returning the same output value. Unlike the ranking in terms of cargo throughput, the most efficient Portuguese seaports are Leixões and Setubal and their Spanish peers are Algeciras, Barcelona and Tarragona. This has proven what has been reported in other studies: that seaport efficiency is not necessary influenced by its cargo throughput.

“…In this body of literature, the study of Roll and Hayuth [10] appears to be the initial attempt that applies DEA to the port industry. However, as the data of the study were hypothetical, the authors aim is only to point out the usefulness of DEA for measuring the port efficiency.…”

“…Reference [27] defined a port's total productivity indicator as the port throughput per profit dollar (the shadow price variable) while [28] suggested an appropriate weighting of partial productivity measures. The data envelopment analysis (DEA) and Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) approaches were already developed and applied in other fields for decades before [29] applied DEA approach to evaluate the efficiency within port settings. These approaches gained since then a wide acceptance in the field due to the fact that it is a non-parametric approach not requiring a pre-defined explicit functional formulation and allows for ports' benchmarking and ranking.…”

There is a lack of both integrative frameworks for container ports and dedicated ones to the Nordic region as observed in the literature. The purpose of this paper is to fill that gap by proposing a conceptual intelligent sustainability performance management framework for Nordic container ports. First a description of such framework is given where the application of artificial intelligence is vital. Then, scanning the literature for performance measurement, features of ports in the Nordic region and port sustainability is undertaken. A dedicated list of key performance indicators is suggested. Finally, a prototype based on hypothetical data is developed for demonstration purposes.
