Abstract
This paper presents a model using the Stochastic Frontier Analysis to measure the efficiency of container terminals in the main ports of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation for the period 2005-2013. Efficiency is calculated through the estimators: JLMS (Jondrow, Lovell, Materov & Schmidt, 1982) and BC (Batesse & Coelli, 1988). It was used as inputs quay length and employed personnel and for output teus annually moved. The scores showed that in the period analyzed, any port was efficient on average, while Shanghai was the one who presented the highest results, in contrast to the port of Callao in Peru, whose efficiency levels were the lowest.
