Özet:

 Maritime transportation has an important share in international trade. With the advancement of communication and technology, speed has become a very important parameter in customer demands. Both the production and logistics sectors are making improvements to reduce lead times in response to this demand. The initial investment cost is quite high in ports, which play an important role in maritime trade. In addition, the return on investment is long. In order to shorten the return on investment and increase the profitability of the port, the port should be operated efficiently and effectively. On the other hand, the services provided at ports are directly related to the foreign trade performance of countries. Additional ship waits at ports will lead to additional costs, thus reducing the competitiveness of countries. The fact that ports are complex and dynamic service businesses causes efficiency measurements to be multivariate. Accordingly, this study focuses on only one specific area of the highly complex issue of port performance measurement. In this context, firstly, the basic literature on efficiency measurement in ports is given in the study, then, within the scope of the constraints of the study, Torosport Ceyhans ship anchorage waiting times over a two-year period are focused and a research process is carried out in this context. According to the findings obtained by Pareto analysis in the Six Sigma approach, it was revealed that the most important reason for the ships waiting to dock at the port was pier occupancy 56.8.

 Uluslararası ticarette denizyolu taşımacılığı önemli bir paya sahiptir. İletişimin ve teknolojinin ilerlemesi ile beraber müşteri talepleri içinde hız, oldukça önemli bir parametre haline gelmiştir. Gerek üretim gerekse lojistik sektörü, bu talebe istinaden tedarik sürelerini azaltmak hedefiyle iyileştirme çalışmaları yapmaktadır. Denizyolu ile yapılan ticarette önemli bir rol üstlenen limanlarda ilk yatırım maliyeti oldukça yüksektir. Ayrıca yatırımın geri dönüş süresi uzundur. Yatırımın geri dönüş süresinin kısaltılması ve limanın karlılığının arttırılması için limanın verimli ve etkin bir şekilde işletilmesi gerekmektedir. Diğer yandan limanlarda verilen hizmetler ülkelerin dış ticaret performansları ile doğrudan ilişkilidir. Limanlarda oluşacak ilave beklemeler ilave maliyetlere yol açacak, dolayısıyla ülkelerin rekabet gücü azalacaktır.Limanların karmaşık ve dinamik hizmet işletmeleri olması, verimlilik ölçümlerinin de çok değişkenli olmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda çalışma, son derece karmaşık olan liman performans ölçümü konusunun sadece özel bir alanına odaklanmaktadır. Bu kapsamda öncelikle çalışmada limanlarda verimlilik ölçümü hakkında temel literatür verilmiş, sonrasında çalışmanın kısıtları kapsamında sadece Torosport Ceyhan limanın iki yıllık süre içerisindeki gemi demirde bekleme zamanlarına odaklanılmış ve bu kapsamda bir araştırma süreci yürütülmüştür. Altı Sigma yaklaşımıda Pareto analizi ile elde edilen bulgulara göre, limana yanaşmak için bekleyen gemilerin demirde bekleme nedenleri arasından en önemi sebebin iskele doluluğu 56,8 olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır.
