摘要
The problems of measuring port performance have become an important academic and operational challenge over the last two decades. In this paper we explore the problems of developing indicators of performance, particularly with reference to bulk traffic. We draw on recent Canadian experience in developing such measures. We prefer using the term Key Port Utilization Indicators (KPUIs) and describe some of the lessons in trying to develop and apply such measures. We conclude by discussing some of the lessons drawn from these operational approaches.
