Resumen
Ports are important transport hubs and facilitate the movement of goods for businesses in local commu-nities and global markets. Ports on the Adriatic Sea play a special role in European transport due to theirshorter distance to Asian and African markets. The ranking of ports is important not only to assess theirefficiency, but also to create a competitive environment and enable port managers and policy makersto recognize and take into account their strengths and weaknesses, leading to an improvement in theperformance of ports in general. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a non-parametric method forevaluating and ranking entities. Cross-efficiency is one of the ranking methods that is able to evaluateall decision-making units (DMU), including efficient and inefficient units. This method has been de-veloped in this article for the presence of uncontrollable inputs and undesirable outputs in an uncertainenvironment. Therefore, the article deals with the ranking of Adriatic container ports from an economican.d environmental perspective using the new improved cross-efficiency method.
