Performance measurement plays a key role in developing appropriate strategies and
evaluating the achievement of objectives in an Intermodal Freight Transport System. This …

Operational efficiency of a maritime port is an important issue for shipping lines and port
authorities. It is desirable to move ships in and out of a maritime port as efficiently as …

The growing competition among container port terminals enhances the pressure for
optimizing their efficiency level in the performance of containers' service. Comparing …

We consider the problem of measuring the efficiency of decision-making units with a ratio-
based model. In this perspective, we introduce a framework for robustness analysis that …

Partial frontiers have been recently developed in order to overcome several drawbacks of
the traditional nonparametric techniques. These robust frontier (order-α α and order-m) …

ABSTRACT The Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta are two regions with the highest
level of economic development in China, and their port development is at the forefront of the …

While data availability provides adequate support for decision-making, asymmetrically
distributed uncertainty remains an inevitable factor in the decision-making process. Robust …

We measure technical efficiency of Peruvian and Chilean port terminals, to evaluate the
influence of certain contextual variables in the terminals' efficiency levels. The sample …

In this paper, we focus on the two crossover automated stacking cranes (ASCs) scheduling
problem that arises at a storage block in an automated container terminal. To address …
