Sažetak

The work described the use of efficiency measures and other logistics metrics and drivers in improving port performance for the port concessionaires. Both the logistical drivers of transportation, facilities and inventory and the cross functional drivers of information, pricing and sourcing have been analyzed to ascertain their contribution to the port supply chain. The role of the regulator in applying the rate of return regulation and price cap regulation to induce concessionaire cost reduction and their technological inputs into the port system have been compared. Static efficiency as well as dynamic efficiency and their benefits to the port concessionaires have been analyzed. A situation has been developed where agile ports will develop healthy partnership cultures through dynamic partnerships with other agile ports and dry ports with integrated transportation chains.
