Abstract
In this research we intend to review port tariff literature. In our analysis we consider strategic pricing, infrastructure cost recovery, market conditions and external costs. We are interested in identifying the optimization models and methods used to define tariff structures, and their relation with the strategies, the infrastructure and the market. Strategic pricing schemes are based on a different tariff between cargo owners due to segment demand or freight traffic. Infrastructure tariffs are usually managed by the port authorities and may be influenced by policies and regulations. The market is influenced by the global supply chain. We expect to identify which are the main elements in literature to decide pricing strategies, infrastructure and the market characteristics as well as the mathematical modeling problems that have been considered.
