Abstract: Abstract This chapter starts with a discussion of the development of global container terminal operators and the inter-organizational interaction model to analyze the container terminal community. We then use data envelopment analysis as a quantitative analytical tool to measure and evaluate the efficiency of global container terminal operations. In addition, we use regression modelling to formulate two regression equations as a reference for the performance evaluation of container terminal operators. The findings indicate that efficient global terminal operators are global stevedores. In this chapter, we introduce the PROFIT framework as a useful reference for container terminal operators to manage their terminal operations and development.
