Abstract: Abstract Ports are often recognized as a public good and/or social infrastructure given their important roles in many supply chains and distribution channels related to international commodity trade. In this regard, their values are assessed from the perspective of the contribution to regional or national development. As suggested by Lee et al. (2008) and Bennathan and Walters (1979), in a country with a less mature port system, developing ports should be considered in the context of national economic security and the fundamental infrastructure of the national economy rather than commercial entities required for a recovery of their full costs from users.1
