Abstract

Recognizing the critical role that ports play in promoting trade and economic expansion worldwide, port authorities are actively seeking strategies to reduce inefficiencies and improve port operations. The seaports along the northern Adriatic are an essential part of the European transport network. An important approach to reduce inefficiencies in the ports is to assess and eliminate port congestion in order to minimize operational bottlenecks. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), a widely used technique for assessing decision making units (DMUs) in different sectors, is also suitable for measuring congestion in individual units. In this study, a one-step DEA model is used to determine the efficiency scores and congestion of ports in the northern Adriatic in the years 2020-2022, allowing for a simultaneous assessment of inefficiency and congestion. The results show which ports are confronted with the problem of inefficiency and congestion during the period under investigation. The analysis provides these ports with insights for more precise and effective resource allocation and coordination.
