Abstract: Ports are one of the most vital links in the management of maritime transport and supply chains. The efficiency of ports is a multidimensional concept for operational performance and its relationship with profitability is an important research topic. In this study, the operational efficiency of TCDD ports was calculated and the relationship between these values and profits of decision units was examined. The weightings of the criteria were calculated by CRITIC and efficiencies were calculated by EATWOS Methods. Correlation analysis was applied to investigate the relationship between efficiency and profitability. The findings show that ports were operated on average of 76% efficiency and there was a positive moderate relationship between efficiency scores and profitability.
