New proposal for port performance indicators

Many areas of port management, such as operations, finance and security, measure port performance as part of commonly accepted practices. Therefore, there already exists a series of relevant indicators that were addressed in previous editions of this publication. The difficulties in obtaining information to assess performance are widely documented in the specialised literature, and are due, in part, to the diversity and dispersion of ownership of the relevant data. However, in this review, and thanks to the advantages of data processing and process automation digitalisation, more information and indicators that can be used to measure port performance are available.
