Abstract
This paper presents the measurement of efficiency for container ports. Data envelopment analysis(DEA), as it is called, has particular applicability in the service sector. Applying mathematical programming techniques, DEA enables relative efficiency ratings to be derived within a set of analysed units. This paper investigates the efficiency employing DEA Model on data for 53 container ports covering 1995-2001 in the world and the change in efficiency for 7 years. As a results, port of Busan was evaluated as inefficiency port compare with major ports of the world except 1995year and 1996year. But After 1997year, efficiency of Busan port is increasing somewhat better every year.
