The Trend of Parameters for Evaluating Port Performance: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

Sea transportation plays an essential and strategic role in the mobility of passengers, goods, and services domestically, from, and abroad. A sea port, one of the sub-systems of sea transportation, is a point or node where the movement of goods and passengers using sea modes will start, end, or make significant transfers or transits in achieving an effective and efficient sea transportation system. Port efficiency and effectiveness can be seen from the productivity and ability level to finance operational activities. Port governance is critical in port management; selecting a model or form of port management also affects port efficiency and productivity. An evaluation of the performance of port services is needed to maintain a port in prime condition. Port performance assesses several indicators, such as economic, operational, and financial aspects. This study aims to map parameters used in determining port performance. The scope of the article examined contains an evaluation of port performance from an operational, financing, and sustainable perspective. The study's two research questions are listed below. The trend port indicator parameter is first. What parameters consider when evaluating public ports? This study's limitation is 200 articles that research the commercial port. In future research, it is necessary to conduct research that examines the factors or parameters of performance measurement at ports organized by the government. The study results show that the trend of port performance parameters toward sustainable port management and guide port growth for public officials and private parties to preserve port effectiveness.
