Abstract

In this study, the static and dynamic performance efficiencies of container terminals are analyzed and compared for the main container terminals in China and Korea. The static performance efficiency is calculated using the Super-SBM model based on slack variables at the micro-level. An analysis on the dynamic performance efficiency is conducted with the Malmquist index method. The factors of scale and technology of container terminals are mainly taken into account to explore the performance efficient improvement path of container ports. We obtained the following conclusions: (1) The container terminals in Korea show a similar performance efficiency level to the terminals in China, and their performance efficiency is an overall upward trend over the past five years. (2) The main reason for inefficiency in the container terminals in China and Korea is predominantly scale inefficiency. (3) Boosting the automation degree does not have a completely positive impact on the efficiency of the terminal. (4) In 2019–2023, the technical progress index of all container terminals in China and Korea showed a decreasing trend, leading to performance inefficiency of the container terminals.

中国和韩国集装箱码头绩效效率比较分析

本研究分析并比较了中国和韩国主要集装箱码头的静态和动态绩效效率。静态绩效效率采用基于微观层面松弛变量的超级-SBM 模型进行计算。采用 Malmquist 指数法对动态绩效效率进行了分析。主要考虑集装箱码头的规模和技术因素，探索集装箱港口的绩效效率提升路径。得出以下结论：（1）韩国集装箱码头的绩效效率水平与中国码头相近，且近五年来绩效效率总体呈上升趋势。(2）中国和韩国集装箱码头效率低下的主要原因是规模效率低下。(3）自动化程度的提高对码头效率的提升并不具有完全积极的影响。(4）2019-2023 年，中韩两国集装箱码头技术进步指数均呈下降趋势，导致集装箱码头绩效效率低下。

期刊介绍： Journal of Marine Science and Engineering (JMSE; ISSN 2077-1312) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal which provides an advanced forum for studies related to marine science and engineering. It publishes reviews, research papers and communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files and software regarding the full details of the calculation or experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary electronic material.
