The effect of information technology on seaports efficiency and improvement for the Gulf region

The efficiency of a port depends critically on the management system and security, the services provided, and its location as well as the skill of labor in the process of loading and unloading in a record time, using modern equipment. It has been noted from the results obtained that use of modern technology (IT) in some countries led to Increasing productivity and, therefore, an important indicator in evaluating the efficiency of port production. This paper evaluates the efficiency, performance and management of the supplies in the Gulf region. The objective of the study is to apply the DEA, CCR and BCC models in the evaluation of production efficiency using a nonlinear linear programming method in packaging data analysis (DEA), using data collected for 6 years for the period (2000-2005).
