Abstract
Greece is a country with more than 200 inhabited islands, in which almost 17% of population live. Sea transport is the only available connection for the vast majority of these islands. The major ferry network of Greece consists of 155 ports, which are handling on an annual basis more than 35 million passengers. This study uses a panel of secondary data for 155 Greek ports, which were collected for the development of the database of ENIRISST (Intelligent Research Infrastructure for Shipping, Supply Chain, Transport and Logistics) project in order to determine demand patterns. At first, STL decomposition is performed for the throughput timeseries of each port. Afterwards, Gini Index Analysis for Seasonality is performed for all ports. Results are useful for planning of decision-makers and constitute an important addition to currently existing traditional econometric models.
