Therefore, using this limited factors to their maximum capacity becomes one of the main problem in port management. Methodology- In order to increase ports efficiency, firstly their actual performances should be determined. With respect to this aspect, in this study port authority’s efficiencies are compared with data envelopment analysis. Findings- Ambarli and Izmir port authorities are found as the most efficient and Iskenderun is found as least efficient one. Conclusion: Performance measurement is the first step to improve performance. In this study, port authority’s efficiency is compared and results are shared.
