Abstract
This paper presents a methodology for selecting performance indicators for evaluating a port's performance with respect to its economic (rat her than its engineering) optimum throughput. performance indicators a m choice variable for optimizing the port's economic objective(s) and include the port's price and operating options (for differentiating se rvice). If changer in these indicators have opposite effects on port p erformance, a single (or overall) performance indicator is recommended for evaluating a port's performance.
