- Abstract
- The emergence of modern container terminals in most of ports all over the world has indeed helped many ports to increase their throughputs, and reach extraordinary new records in term of cargo handling volume; however, the high mechanization and the introduction of a wide range of machinery and equipment to the port industry increased dramatically the consumption of energy in the sector, and lead to numerous undesirable side effects; (i.a. ‘sustainability issues, and depletion of natural resources’, and ‘harmful emissions’). To face the challenge of getting over the undesirable effects of containerization in the port industry, decision makers must adopt global strategies and policies that consider the public health, environmental impacts, and sustainability.
In the line of efforts to face environmental and sustainability issues, energy consumption has been emerging as an important matter. In fact decision makers are reluctant to act while planning energy use reduction policies, if there is no consistent data and accurate information to support the policy position they may take. Therefore, measuring the energy efficiency of ports becomes one of the crucial elements that may provide solid basis to develop effective energy related policies.
This work aims to propose an alternative method to measure the energy use efficiency in container Terminals. The study includes a sample of eighteen units composed from both automated and traditional terminals located in ten different countries. The Approach is based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), a non-parametric efficiency measurement method introduced by Farrell in 1957. The objective is to dichotomize the data set into efficient and inefficient units, compute the potential amount of energy consumption likely to be reducible by inefficient container terminals to reach an optimal level of energy efficiency, find an improvement reference peer group, and investigate the best improvement path for each inefficient unit.
