The objective of this study was to select world top 20 major container terminals that belong to Korea and China as comparison units to analyze their efficiency and productivity trend. Super Efficiency Data Envelopment Analysis(SE-DEA) and Malmquist Productivity Index(MPI) models were applied to this study. Compared with previous studies, we narrowed down the scope of the comparison units to terminals and conducted more detailed analysis to present more meaningful implications to the actual operation. The different result from existing studies, SE-DEA analysis implied that the major terminals of Busan New Port showed similar efficiency and productivity with China's terminals. In MPI analysis, the average index of Korean and China's terminals is 1.051 and 1.049. The analysis indicates that the productivity was improved 5.1% and 4.9% annually. From 2012 to 2015, the average terminal TCI index of South Korea and China were 1.032 and 1.0318-the main factor which influences MPI. This means improving productivity mainly rely on investment in new equipment and technology upgrades rather than improve operational efficiency over the past few years. Future management decisions should consider more aggressive marketing to increase the volume and improve operational efficiency to enhance productivity. Further research should apply the overall efficiency of the methodology considering the financial diversification, terminal capacity, service levels, and other factors.

항만 배후단지는 항만과의 연계된 네트워크로 점점 중요해지는 가운데 다국적으로 앞 다투어 고부가 가치 창출을 위한 다양한 법과 제도를 마련하고 있다. 유럽, 아시아, 북미 등 여러 국가에서 배후단지 활성화를 위한 투자와 발전을 위해 노력하고 있으며 이에 한국도 제3차 항만배후단지개발 종합계획을 통해 단계적 변화의 움직임을 보여주고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 DEA(Data envelopment analysis)와 Malmquist 분석을 통해 한국의 주요 항만배후단지의 생산성과 효율성을 파악하였다. 분석결과 부산 신항 북컨, 광양항 서측배후단지는 효율성이 높고 부산 신항 운동, 광양 동측 배후단지 및 아암 1단지는 효율성이 낮게 나타났다. 연구 분석을 통해 향후 항만 배후단지의 경영 환경 및 수익성이 개선되어야한다는 점을 시사한다.
