Summary/Abstract: This study aims at evaluating the performance of the Famagusta Port in order to find out its impact on the economy of NC. It is critical to analyze the economic impact of the Famagusta port in particular. The performance of the economy is correlated to the productivity and the efficiency of the port over a given period of time. The more the port performs the higher the efficiency and productivity. With Famagusta Port’s low growth rate, the question of port efficiency is necessary in a country like NC. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is used to conduct this research. The results obtained determine the efficiency of the port.
