The assessment proposed in this article, making it possible to compare different assets, are driven by reliable data available publicly.Therefore, the benchmark KPIs outlined refer to the total teu handled in a given year by the total major physical resources available in a container terminal such as the quay length and the yard space.The size and scale of terminals tend to make them more efficient as they focus on container handling by deploying all for this purpose.The performance of Brazilian terminals has proved itself usually below regional and world average.Nevertheless, Brazil has recently been through a period of significant investment improvement in the container port infrastructure, which has led the country to leave from a situation of under capacity to a current relative overcapacity.
