1 IntroductionInternational shipping is strongly associated with global trade and port management that goes alongwith it have affected the environment and surrounding communities Therefore there is a need todevelop transportation and port sustainability Port operation in Thailand aims to increase its efficiencyand effectiveness of competitiveness particularly on the sustainable aspects of the environment andsocial dimensions (Office of the National Economic and Social Development Board 2017) Sustainablemanagement is an important concept to operate in port operation including of the three main pillars ofsustainable development namely environmental (to reduce the impact on the environment) social(community management) and economic (to help the organization benefit and enhance its economicperformance) These three pillars are intersected and have a relationship among the pillars (UNCTAD2017)
As a result port sustainability is challenging port authorities around the world to find ways ofoperating and managing their ports efficiently and effectively in terms of economic social as wellas environmental development (Chen amp Siu Lee Lam 2018 Roh Thai amp Wong 2016) Thereforesustainability for Thailand port is essential This paper thus aims to determine and analyze thesustainable port KPIs In this study Literature is reviewed to explore the sustainable port KPIs byintegrating academic aspect using academic peer-reviewed journals dated back 15 years togetherwith practical aspect using sustainable port annual reports of 12 ports from 40 of the worldrsquos topports (Review of Maritime Transport 2015 UNCTAD 2016) Exploratory factor analysis is applied tothe analysis in order to identify the sustainable port KPIs and sustainable port KPI groups Threetypes of ports namely container non-container and multi-purpose port are surveyed to see thesimilarity differentiation among port sustainable KPI groups from the three different types of ports
2 Literature review
21 Sustainable port managementSustainable port is the concept of port operation that is managed with triple bottle line These threepillars include the environmental social and economic pillars which intersect among pillars (SsilianJaegler amp Cariou 2016) Sustainable port is used in business strategy and considers the relationship ofthree pillars The aim of this concept is tomeet the stakeholder needs while defending the sustainabilityof social and natural resources (Sakar amp Cetin 2012) This is a challenge to the improved port operationand internal standard (Asgari Hassani Jones amp Nguye 2015) Therefore Sustainable port requires theoperation of three main pillars and depends on practical of the relationship among these pillars Theaims of the sustainable port are to improve the equilibrium of cost efficiency in port the environmentalport and societal port However there is still more pillars of port sustainability that supports the portoperation as well
22 Reviewed literature on sustainable port KPIsSustainable port KPIs are reviewed from sustainable port annual reports on the top 40 ports andacademic peer-reviewed journals related to port sustainability In the first goal of the research theresearcher aims to find all sustainable port KPIs which covers all practical and academic aspectsFirstly after reviewing 12 sustainable port reports from total 40 of the worldrsquos top ports (UNCTAD2016) it is found that there are 8 ports that present sustainable port KPIs in their annual reportsFour ports further have environmental ports annual reports Only annual reports of 8 ports fromtotal 40 ports are available in their websites (Long Beach port 2010 Busan port 2014 Los Anglesport 2014 Rotterdam port 2008 Bremerhaven port 2015 Santos port 2016 Antwerp port 2017Singapore port 2016) The variety of sustainable port KPIs is presented as part of the environmentpillar including consumption of energy water consumption and air emissions etc The social pillarfocuses on the quality of life community development safety management and employeeprofiles etc The economic pillar clarifies by capacity review for cargo financial and non-

financial performance and strengthens positions etc In addition it found that the organizationalmanagement pillar is an important aspect in improving port sustainability
Furthermore it is found there are annual reports of 4 more ports that are reviewed These 4reports showing in their port websites just present only one pillar namely environmental airquality noise management water quality and waste management (Dubai port 2016 Kaohsiungport 2016 Tanjung Pelepas port 2017 Valencia port 2017)
Secondly the total 163 articles are reviewed from academic peer-reviewed journals published in2003ndash2017 Four keywords are ldquosustainable portrdquo ldquoenvironmental portrdquo ldquosocial portrdquo and ldquoeconomicportrdquo are searched It is found that there are 79 articles in sustainable port 14 articles in environmentalport 4 articles in social port and 66 articles in economic port These academic articles are searched fromfour databases including Science Direct (96 articles) Emerald insight (35 articles) ABI Inform complete(22 articles) and Springer Link (10 articles) The number of articles on the AD year basis can besummarized as shown in Figure 1
During the period of 2003ndash2007 there are not somany articles regarding the keywords Also the 10articles on port sustainability are the fewest among the four keywords (Stojanovic Ormerod Smith ampWooldridge 2006) There are a total of 37 articles during the period of 2008ndash2012 This is a significantincrease in the number of reviewed papers Most articles are about environmental sustainability andfocused on identifying themain factors of port operation (Burskyte Belous amp Stasiskiene 2011 Delai ampTakahashi 2011 Lopes 2012) A larger number of 116 articles are published from 2013 to 1017 andthe concept of port sustainability is applied in practical planning and strategic business Most articleson port sustainability introduced the concept key element and various KPIs (Asgari et al 2015 LaxeBermuacutedez Palmero amp Novo-Corti 2016 Zhang Kim Tee amp Lam 2017) These articles are achieved byliterature review conceptual frameworks and case study (Davarzani Fahimnia Bell amp Sarkis 2016Puig Wooldridge amp Darbra 2014 Xiao amp Lam 2017)
Sustainable port KPIs is analyzed by content analysis that it is found 156 KPIs Three main pillarsare found together with the environmental port social port and economic port pillarsFurthermore organizational management principle is found as one more dimension extendedfrom three main pillars Therewith these sustainable port KPIs of three main pillars and one

principle are put into the questionnaires survey in order to classify the sustainable port KPI groupsfrom three types of ports
3 MethodologyThis study analyzes the data using mixed methods of both qualitative and quantitative research toidentify the sustainable port KPIs from the three types of ports in the Eastern Economic Corridor(EEC) of Thailand The research design is divided into two phases Firstly qualitative approachthrough content analysis is applied to find the sustainable port KPIs using academic peer-reviewedjournals published between 2003 and 2017 which are searched database from Emerald insightSpringer Link Science Direct and ABI Inform Together with sustainable port annual reports of 12ports from the 40 top ports (UNCTAD 2016) Secondly a quantitative approach by factor analysis isapplied to classify these KPIs into main group base on sustainable pillars
31 Framework of statistics analysisThis study is analyzed through four steps as shown in Figure 2 Step 1 the literature reviewed found156 sustainable port KPIs by content analysis Step 2 is questionnaires survey Step 3 inferentialstatistics analysis using exploration factor analysis is applied to analysis the sustainable port KPIgroups and sustainable port KPIs These sustainable port KPIs are selected with factor loadings thatare above 07 (70) in general which factor loadings are similar to correlation coefficients in that theycan vary from minus1 to 1 (Gefen Straub amp Boudreau 2000 MacCallum Widaman Preacher amp Hong2001) This factor analysis is to use a data reduction method designed to explain the correlationsbetween observed variables (Lu Shang amp Lin 2016a 2016b Gebauer Putzr Fischer Wang amp Lin2008) Step 4 one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) using Scheffe testing is employed to test thedifference of the important levels of the KPI group with the three types of ports (Chawla amp Joshi 2010Diaz amp Rodriguez 2016) This ANOVA test is a technique using to compare means of two or moresamples for determiningwhether there are any statistically significant differences between themeansof three or more independent groups (Howell 2002) Finally 91 sustainable port KPIs are selectedforming to the critical KPI and the preferable KPI group
32 Data population collection and questionnaire designThe total populations are 63 managers who directly respond to sustainable port All of managersare to work in EEC of Thailand ports which 21 terminals are including the 18 terminals of LaemChabang port controlled by the Port Authority of Thailand (Laem Chabang port 2017) and another3 private ports in the area Although the number of criteria (156 KPIs) and the number ofrespondents (63 managers) are not to the scale proportion But if we increase the respondent

number it may create more error instead of having a better statistical meaning Since the directmanagers who involved with sustainability are very few in each port
The instruments are a questionnaire survey which is filled with face to face interview to indicatethe level of importance of the sustainable port KPIs with a 10-level scale (Amrina amp Vilsi 2015) Theimportance of sustainable port KPIs ranged from strongly disagree (1-low) to strongly agree (10-high)in regards to sustainable port The questionnaire has two sections Section one the demographicinformation relates company and personal information about the company name portterminaloperator ISO certificate PSHE-MS member type of port position responsibility and educationSection two contains two subsections the question of sustainable port KPIs the important levels(from 1 to 10) and other indicators of the respondentrsquos opinion
The questionnaires regarding 156 KPIs are distributed to the total population 63 managers in 21terminals The completed questionnaires are accounted for 57 managers that are 9048 of therespondents Operational manager with 7719 middle manager with 1228 and top manager with1053 Of this total 5614 responded to sustainable development and 3509 responded to portmanagement and 877 are others responsibility More than a half of managers 5263 in Masterdegree Bachelorrsquos degree in 4737 and there is no one graduate in a Doctoral degree Moreover Typeof ports in data collection displayed with 5789 in container port 2105 in non-container port and2105 in multi-purpose port
4 Findings and discussionsThe findings of this study are divided into three parts Firstly the results of the exploration factoranalysis of port sustainable KPI groups and factor loading of sustainable port KPIs Secondary theanalysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing means of the important levels of KPI among three typesof ports Finally discussion of the analysis result
41 Results of exploration factor analysis for sustainable port KPI groupsThe analysis of Pearsonrsquos correlation measures the correlation coefficient by studying the relation-ship between variables The correlation test is significant at the 005 level (2-tailed) It seems to beconcluded that most of the KPI variables are correlated to each other This confirms that factoranalysis can be used with this data (Iddris 2016 Vanichbuncha 2010) The KPIs are analyzed toclassify KPI groups Table 1 displays the results of variance and cumulative percentage each KPIgroups To achieve an acceptable fit it found that there are four KPI groups group 1 and group 2show the high percentages of variance which are 26519 and 24290 respectively Then group3 and group 4 show a variance of 19337 and 19008 respectively
The cumulative percentage is explained by the variance that applies to select an optimal numberof KPI group In this study we choose four KPI groups as the cumulative variance of 89153 thatpresent a high percentage to confirm the number of KPI group
Table 2 presents the factor analysis with principal component method extraction The varimaxrotation is adapted to steps for evaluating the terms of error of indicators that composes the factorsThe results show factor loadings being more than 07 levels indicating that the KPI is highly importantto be represented to the corresponding KPI groups The sustainable port KPIs are of total 91 KPIs from

Table 3 presents the results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing the important levelswithin the four KPI groups following the three types of ports This table shows the Scheffetesting for alpha 05 of all KPI groups This analysis further found that KPI group 1 and group 2has non-significant differences among the three types of ports KPI groups 1 and 2 arepresented as having a high level of important indicators which show higher than 08 importantlevels KPI group 1 shows the non-container ports (988) multi-purpose ports (869) andcontainer ports (846) KPI group 2 displays the mean levels of importance indicators by non-container ports (982) multi-purpose ports (915) and container ports (817) Thus in the threetypes of ports the important indicators need to operate to port sustainability has nodifferentiation
KPIgroup3andgroup4 indicatea significantdifference in the three typesofports KPI group3 fornon-container ports is shown to have the lowest level of indicators of importance (512) after that is themulti-purpose port (754) and container port (883) KPI group 4 for container ports is given to the lowestlevel of importance indicators (719) while the mean level of importance indicators for multi-purposeports (920) and non-container ports (953) are shown to have the highest level of importance indicatorsTherefore container ports offer an important level of KPI group 3 more than non-container ports alsomulti-purpose ports provide an important level of KPI group of three more than a non-container portHowever container ports andmulti-purpose port are given the important level of KPI group 3 with non-differentiation
43 DiscussionsSustainable port is the greatest challenge in the world of ports (Mora Orejas Subirats Ibanez ampAlvarez 2005 Mori amp Best 2017) Ports in Asia have been implementing various green and sustainableactivities seeking to reduce the environmental and social impacts of shipping and port activities (Rohet al 2016 Hou amp Geerlings 2016) In this paper it is found that KPI groups are divided into twomaingroups including the critical KPI groups and the preferable KPI group KPI group 1 and group 2 are thecritical KPI in which the sustainable port must be operated to port management Additionally KPIgroup 3 and group 4 are the preferable KPI groups that port operation need to apply sustainable portsfollowed by types of ports

Sustainable port KPIs total 91 KPIs are comprised of the environmental aspect 22 KPIs (2418)social aspect 28 KPIs (3077) economic aspect 27 KPIs (2967) and port organizational manage-ment aspect 14 KPIs (1538) as shown in Figure 3 This paper introduces that modern port shouldapply these sustainable port KPIs in order to improve their sustainable ports performance
The critical KPIs are shown in the highest explanation of sustainable ports in the 30 KPIs of KPIgroup 1 and 23 KPIs of KPI group 2 There are a total of 53 KPIs that must be considered foroperational planning in ports to achieve port practice towards port sustainability The KPIs group 1presents the economic port manner referring to the port management that is achieved byintegrating key cost efficiency and cooperate social responsibility in ports Port operation canachieve KPIs in group 1 with KPIs of G11ndash130 The applied practices of sustainable port planningcan be considered for the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G11ndash12 explain themanagement of environmental costs and G13ndash113 indicates the cost of cooperate social respon-sibility G14ndash130 specifies the economic management which offers the financial and consumptionin port Port operation can achieve KPIs in group 2 with KPIs of G21ndash223 The applied operationsof sustainable port performance are to consider the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG21ndash213 and G18-23 explain the environmental management in ports and G214ndash117 point tothe environmental efficiency cost and social responsibility However these critical KPIs are pre-sented with non-difference in the level of importance indicators to practice of the three types ofports These ports will be applicable for operation to develop sustainable KPIs for producing thepractical plan and key measurement in port operation
The preferable KPIs are revealed in the exceptional sustainable port KPIs of sustainable portsin the 19 KPIs of KPI group 3 and 19 KPIs of KPI group 4 There are a total of 38 KPIs needed toreflect on operational planning in ports for achieving better performance in port sustainabilityIn the KPIs group 3 presents about the impartial port management referring to the portmanagement that is achieved the superimposed economic and social efficiency in port Portoperation can be achieved with KPIs in group 3 with KPIs of G 31ndash319 The port managementof sustainable planning is to be considered to factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG31ndash33 explain the management of the equitable environment and KPIs of G34ndash119 shownfor operating the social-economic management of a port In the KPIs group 4 it indicated thatthe social port management referring to the port management Port practice can achieve KPIsin group 4 with KPIs of G 41ndash419 The planning of sustainable port operation is to beconsidered with the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G41ndash44 explain theenvironmental management to the community surrounding the port and KPIs of G45ndash411identify the social sustainability in port KPIs of G412ndash419 identify the organization and

community management to port The preferable KPIs recommend as an important indicatorlevel of difference implementation followed by three types of ports that are found in KPIsgroup 3 and group 4 are significant different testings
In addition the performance measurement of KPIs group 3 in container ports and multi-purposeports need to be given a high importance level of practice planningmore than non-container ports Theperformance measurement of KPIs group 4 in non-container ports and multi-purpose ports need tooffer a high important level of operational management more than container ports In light of theresults obtained container ports andmulti-purpose ports require operational integrating financial andsocial efficiency of KPI group 3 to performance measurement in port Furthermore the practice of KPIgroup 3 in non-container port demands the least importance to manage the performance measure-ment in ports For the need of KPI group 4 container ports require operational indication by the leastimportant social and organizational management less than non-container ports and multi-purposeports these two types of ports affect the more natural environment and social surroundings Allinformation support is to direct the development of a sustainable port which explains the sustainableperformance measurement and port management
5 ConclusionsPort operation focuses on improving port sustainability in order to add value to the high profile ofinternational ports and reduce environmental and social impacts Together with this port operationsupports maritime transport and the overall economic system However in performing the portoperation environmental and social problems have been found and are lacking the sustainableport KPIs This paper finds four sustainable port KPI groups using exploratory factor analysis Thefindings also identify that the sustainable port KPIs are formed into groups The four KPI groups areshown with 91 sustainable port KPIs display factor loadings being higher than a 07 level indicationThese KPIs are included in the environmental aspect 22 KPIs social aspect 28 KPIs economic aspect27 KPIs and port organizational management aspect 14 KPIs
KPI group 1 and group 2 are the critical KPI to explain the high importance of port sustainabilityThese critical KPIs must be applied to sustainable port management Whereas the preferable KPI arefound in KPI group 3 and group 4 which are supported to port sustainability Besides three types ofport are tested for the different group using one-way ANOVA with the important levels of thesustainable port KPI groups As a result KPI group 1 and group 2 are presented as having significantnon-differences but KPI group 3 and group 4 are indicated as being significantly different between thethree types of ports Figure 3 introduces the sustainable port KPIs that contemporary port should applythese KPIs for improving their sustainable ports performance
Therefore port management should be considered with these sustainable port KPIs and sustainableport KPI groups to the first policy and practice for developing sustainability reports towards highperformance and creating a good image of environmentally and socially of sustainable ports Futureresearch can consider these findings in comparison to other stakeholders and in other areas or countries

Key performance indicators of sustainable portCase study of the eastern economic corridor inThailandThanyaphat Muangpan1 and Kamonchanok Suthiwartnarueput1
Abstract Sustainable port KPIs are an important concept to operate in port Thispaper therefore compiles amp attempts to identify the sustainable port KPIs fromacademic and practice aspects and test with Thailand ports in the EasternEconomic Corridor (EEC) Exploratory factor analysis and one-way ANOVA areapplied to group and classify these KPIs The findings show that there are two mainsustainable port KPI groups namely critical and preferable groups KPI group 1 andgroup 2 are considered as the critical ones whereas KPI group 3 and group 4 areclassified as the preferable ones This paper also finds that there are some signifi-cant differences in sustainable port KPIs among types of ports namely containernon-container and multi-purpose port for the preferable group but there is nodifference for the critical group one

1 IntroductionInternational shipping is strongly associated with global trade and port management that goes alongwith it have affected the environment and surrounding communities Therefore there is a need todevelop transportation and port sustainability Port operation in Thailand aims to increase its efficiencyand effectiveness of competitiveness particularly on the sustainable aspects of the environment andsocial dimensions (Office of the National Economic and Social Development Board 2017) Sustainablemanagement is an important concept to operate in port operation including of the three main pillars ofsustainable development namely environmental (to reduce the impact on the environment) social(community management) and economic (to help the organization benefit and enhance its economicperformance) These three pillars are intersected and have a relationship among the pillars (UNCTAD2017)
As a result port sustainability is challenging port authorities around the world to find ways ofoperating and managing their ports efficiently and effectively in terms of economic social as wellas environmental development (Chen amp Siu Lee Lam 2018 Roh Thai amp Wong 2016) Thereforesustainability for Thailand port is essential This paper thus aims to determine and analyze thesustainable port KPIs In this study Literature is reviewed to explore the sustainable port KPIs byintegrating academic aspect using academic peer-reviewed journals dated back 15 years togetherwith practical aspect using sustainable port annual reports of 12 ports from 40 of the worldrsquos topports (Review of Maritime Transport 2015 UNCTAD 2016) Exploratory factor analysis is applied tothe analysis in order to identify the sustainable port KPIs and sustainable port KPI groups Threetypes of ports namely container non-container and multi-purpose port are surveyed to see thesimilarity differentiation among port sustainable KPI groups from the three different types of ports
2 Literature review
21 Sustainable port managementSustainable port is the concept of port operation that is managed with triple bottle line These threepillars include the environmental social and economic pillars which intersect among pillars (SsilianJaegler amp Cariou 2016) Sustainable port is used in business strategy and considers the relationship ofthree pillars The aim of this concept is tomeet the stakeholder needs while defending the sustainabilityof social and natural resources (Sakar amp Cetin 2012) This is a challenge to the improved port operationand internal standard (Asgari Hassani Jones amp Nguye 2015) Therefore Sustainable port requires theoperation of three main pillars and depends on practical of the relationship among these pillars Theaims of the sustainable port are to improve the equilibrium of cost efficiency in port the environmentalport and societal port However there is still more pillars of port sustainability that supports the portoperation as well
22 Reviewed literature on sustainable port KPIsSustainable port KPIs are reviewed from sustainable port annual reports on the top 40 ports andacademic peer-reviewed journals related to port sustainability In the first goal of the research theresearcher aims to find all sustainable port KPIs which covers all practical and academic aspectsFirstly after reviewing 12 sustainable port reports from total 40 of the worldrsquos top ports (UNCTAD2016) it is found that there are 8 ports that present sustainable port KPIs in their annual reportsFour ports further have environmental ports annual reports Only annual reports of 8 ports fromtotal 40 ports are available in their websites (Long Beach port 2010 Busan port 2014 Los Anglesport 2014 Rotterdam port 2008 Bremerhaven port 2015 Santos port 2016 Antwerp port 2017Singapore port 2016) The variety of sustainable port KPIs is presented as part of the environmentpillar including consumption of energy water consumption and air emissions etc The social pillarfocuses on the quality of life community development safety management and employeeprofiles etc The economic pillar clarifies by capacity review for cargo financial and non-

financial performance and strengthens positions etc In addition it found that the organizationalmanagement pillar is an important aspect in improving port sustainability
Furthermore it is found there are annual reports of 4 more ports that are reviewed These 4reports showing in their port websites just present only one pillar namely environmental airquality noise management water quality and waste management (Dubai port 2016 Kaohsiungport 2016 Tanjung Pelepas port 2017 Valencia port 2017)
Secondly the total 163 articles are reviewed from academic peer-reviewed journals published in2003ndash2017 Four keywords are ldquosustainable portrdquo ldquoenvironmental portrdquo ldquosocial portrdquo and ldquoeconomicportrdquo are searched It is found that there are 79 articles in sustainable port 14 articles in environmentalport 4 articles in social port and 66 articles in economic port These academic articles are searched fromfour databases including Science Direct (96 articles) Emerald insight (35 articles) ABI Inform complete(22 articles) and Springer Link (10 articles) The number of articles on the AD year basis can besummarized as shown in Figure 1
During the period of 2003ndash2007 there are not somany articles regarding the keywords Also the 10articles on port sustainability are the fewest among the four keywords (Stojanovic Ormerod Smith ampWooldridge 2006) There are a total of 37 articles during the period of 2008ndash2012 This is a significantincrease in the number of reviewed papers Most articles are about environmental sustainability andfocused on identifying themain factors of port operation (Burskyte Belous amp Stasiskiene 2011 Delai ampTakahashi 2011 Lopes 2012) A larger number of 116 articles are published from 2013 to 1017 andthe concept of port sustainability is applied in practical planning and strategic business Most articleson port sustainability introduced the concept key element and various KPIs (Asgari et al 2015 LaxeBermuacutedez Palmero amp Novo-Corti 2016 Zhang Kim Tee amp Lam 2017) These articles are achieved byliterature review conceptual frameworks and case study (Davarzani Fahimnia Bell amp Sarkis 2016Puig Wooldridge amp Darbra 2014 Xiao amp Lam 2017)
Sustainable port KPIs is analyzed by content analysis that it is found 156 KPIs Three main pillarsare found together with the environmental port social port and economic port pillarsFurthermore organizational management principle is found as one more dimension extendedfrom three main pillars Therewith these sustainable port KPIs of three main pillars and one

principle are put into the questionnaires survey in order to classify the sustainable port KPI groupsfrom three types of ports
3 MethodologyThis study analyzes the data using mixed methods of both qualitative and quantitative research toidentify the sustainable port KPIs from the three types of ports in the Eastern Economic Corridor(EEC) of Thailand The research design is divided into two phases Firstly qualitative approachthrough content analysis is applied to find the sustainable port KPIs using academic peer-reviewedjournals published between 2003 and 2017 which are searched database from Emerald insightSpringer Link Science Direct and ABI Inform Together with sustainable port annual reports of 12ports from the 40 top ports (UNCTAD 2016) Secondly a quantitative approach by factor analysis isapplied to classify these KPIs into main group base on sustainable pillars
31 Framework of statistics analysisThis study is analyzed through four steps as shown in Figure 2 Step 1 the literature reviewed found156 sustainable port KPIs by content analysis Step 2 is questionnaires survey Step 3 inferentialstatistics analysis using exploration factor analysis is applied to analysis the sustainable port KPIgroups and sustainable port KPIs These sustainable port KPIs are selected with factor loadings thatare above 07 (70) in general which factor loadings are similar to correlation coefficients in that theycan vary from minus1 to 1 (Gefen Straub amp Boudreau 2000 MacCallum Widaman Preacher amp Hong2001) This factor analysis is to use a data reduction method designed to explain the correlationsbetween observed variables (Lu Shang amp Lin 2016a 2016b Gebauer Putzr Fischer Wang amp Lin2008) Step 4 one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) using Scheffe testing is employed to test thedifference of the important levels of the KPI group with the three types of ports (Chawla amp Joshi 2010Diaz amp Rodriguez 2016) This ANOVA test is a technique using to compare means of two or moresamples for determiningwhether there are any statistically significant differences between themeansof three or more independent groups (Howell 2002) Finally 91 sustainable port KPIs are selectedforming to the critical KPI and the preferable KPI group
32 Data population collection and questionnaire designThe total populations are 63 managers who directly respond to sustainable port All of managersare to work in EEC of Thailand ports which 21 terminals are including the 18 terminals of LaemChabang port controlled by the Port Authority of Thailand (Laem Chabang port 2017) and another3 private ports in the area Although the number of criteria (156 KPIs) and the number ofrespondents (63 managers) are not to the scale proportion But if we increase the respondent

number it may create more error instead of having a better statistical meaning Since the directmanagers who involved with sustainability are very few in each port
The instruments are a questionnaire survey which is filled with face to face interview to indicatethe level of importance of the sustainable port KPIs with a 10-level scale (Amrina amp Vilsi 2015) Theimportance of sustainable port KPIs ranged from strongly disagree (1-low) to strongly agree (10-high)in regards to sustainable port The questionnaire has two sections Section one the demographicinformation relates company and personal information about the company name portterminaloperator ISO certificate PSHE-MS member type of port position responsibility and educationSection two contains two subsections the question of sustainable port KPIs the important levels(from 1 to 10) and other indicators of the respondentrsquos opinion
The questionnaires regarding 156 KPIs are distributed to the total population 63 managers in 21terminals The completed questionnaires are accounted for 57 managers that are 9048 of therespondents Operational manager with 7719 middle manager with 1228 and top manager with1053 Of this total 5614 responded to sustainable development and 3509 responded to portmanagement and 877 are others responsibility More than a half of managers 5263 in Masterdegree Bachelorrsquos degree in 4737 and there is no one graduate in a Doctoral degree Moreover Typeof ports in data collection displayed with 5789 in container port 2105 in non-container port and2105 in multi-purpose port
4 Findings and discussionsThe findings of this study are divided into three parts Firstly the results of the exploration factoranalysis of port sustainable KPI groups and factor loading of sustainable port KPIs Secondary theanalysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing means of the important levels of KPI among three typesof ports Finally discussion of the analysis result
41 Results of exploration factor analysis for sustainable port KPI groupsThe analysis of Pearsonrsquos correlation measures the correlation coefficient by studying the relation-ship between variables The correlation test is significant at the 005 level (2-tailed) It seems to beconcluded that most of the KPI variables are correlated to each other This confirms that factoranalysis can be used with this data (Iddris 2016 Vanichbuncha 2010) The KPIs are analyzed toclassify KPI groups Table 1 displays the results of variance and cumulative percentage each KPIgroups To achieve an acceptable fit it found that there are four KPI groups group 1 and group 2show the high percentages of variance which are 26519 and 24290 respectively Then group3 and group 4 show a variance of 19337 and 19008 respectively
The cumulative percentage is explained by the variance that applies to select an optimal numberof KPI group In this study we choose four KPI groups as the cumulative variance of 89153 thatpresent a high percentage to confirm the number of KPI group
Table 2 presents the factor analysis with principal component method extraction The varimaxrotation is adapted to steps for evaluating the terms of error of indicators that composes the factorsThe results show factor loadings being more than 07 levels indicating that the KPI is highly importantto be represented to the corresponding KPI groups The sustainable port KPIs are of total 91 KPIs from

156 KPIs KPI group 1 determines the highest numbers of sustainable port KPIs with economic portmanner KPI group 2 concludes as having the most sustainable port KPIs with environmental portmanagement KPI group 3 identifies the highest numbers of sustainable port KPIs with impartial portmanagement KPI group 4 indicates most of sustainable port KPIs with social port management
42 The analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing means of the important level of KPI amongthree types of portsThis part analyzes the differences in the importance level among four KPI groups from the threetypes of ports container ports non-container port and multi-purpose port
Table 3 presents the results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing the important levelswithin the four KPI groups following the three types of ports This table shows the Scheffetesting for alpha 05 of all KPI groups This analysis further found that KPI group 1 and group 2has non-significant differences among the three types of ports KPI groups 1 and 2 arepresented as having a high level of important indicators which show higher than 08 importantlevels KPI group 1 shows the non-container ports (988) multi-purpose ports (869) andcontainer ports (846) KPI group 2 displays the mean levels of importance indicators by non-container ports (982) multi-purpose ports (915) and container ports (817) Thus in the threetypes of ports the important indicators need to operate to port sustainability has nodifferentiation
KPIgroup3andgroup4 indicatea significantdifference in the three typesofports KPI group3 fornon-container ports is shown to have the lowest level of indicators of importance (512) after that is themulti-purpose port (754) and container port (883) KPI group 4 for container ports is given to the lowestlevel of importance indicators (719) while the mean level of importance indicators for multi-purposeports (920) and non-container ports (953) are shown to have the highest level of importance indicatorsTherefore container ports offer an important level of KPI group 3 more than non-container ports alsomulti-purpose ports provide an important level of KPI group of three more than a non-container portHowever container ports andmulti-purpose port are given the important level of KPI group 3 with non-differentiation
43 DiscussionsSustainable port is the greatest challenge in the world of ports (Mora Orejas Subirats Ibanez ampAlvarez 2005 Mori amp Best 2017) Ports in Asia have been implementing various green and sustainableactivities seeking to reduce the environmental and social impacts of shipping and port activities (Rohet al 2016 Hou amp Geerlings 2016) In this paper it is found that KPI groups are divided into twomaingroups including the critical KPI groups and the preferable KPI group KPI group 1 and group 2 are thecritical KPI in which the sustainable port must be operated to port management Additionally KPIgroup 3 and group 4 are the preferable KPI groups that port operation need to apply sustainable portsfollowed by types of ports

Sustainable port KPIs total 91 KPIs are comprised of the environmental aspect 22 KPIs (2418)social aspect 28 KPIs (3077) economic aspect 27 KPIs (2967) and port organizational manage-ment aspect 14 KPIs (1538) as shown in Figure 3 This paper introduces that modern port shouldapply these sustainable port KPIs in order to improve their sustainable ports performance
The critical KPIs are shown in the highest explanation of sustainable ports in the 30 KPIs of KPIgroup 1 and 23 KPIs of KPI group 2 There are a total of 53 KPIs that must be considered foroperational planning in ports to achieve port practice towards port sustainability The KPIs group 1presents the economic port manner referring to the port management that is achieved byintegrating key cost efficiency and cooperate social responsibility in ports Port operation canachieve KPIs in group 1 with KPIs of G11ndash130 The applied practices of sustainable port planningcan be considered for the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G11ndash12 explain themanagement of environmental costs and G13ndash113 indicates the cost of cooperate social respon-sibility G14ndash130 specifies the economic management which offers the financial and consumptionin port Port operation can achieve KPIs in group 2 with KPIs of G21ndash223 The applied operationsof sustainable port performance are to consider the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG21ndash213 and G18-23 explain the environmental management in ports and G214ndash117 point tothe environmental efficiency cost and social responsibility However these critical KPIs are pre-sented with non-difference in the level of importance indicators to practice of the three types ofports These ports will be applicable for operation to develop sustainable KPIs for producing thepractical plan and key measurement in port operation
The preferable KPIs are revealed in the exceptional sustainable port KPIs of sustainable portsin the 19 KPIs of KPI group 3 and 19 KPIs of KPI group 4 There are a total of 38 KPIs needed toreflect on operational planning in ports for achieving better performance in port sustainabilityIn the KPIs group 3 presents about the impartial port management referring to the portmanagement that is achieved the superimposed economic and social efficiency in port Portoperation can be achieved with KPIs in group 3 with KPIs of G 31ndash319 The port managementof sustainable planning is to be considered to factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG31ndash33 explain the management of the equitable environment and KPIs of G34ndash119 shownfor operating the social-economic management of a port In the KPIs group 4 it indicated thatthe social port management referring to the port management Port practice can achieve KPIsin group 4 with KPIs of G 41ndash419 The planning of sustainable port operation is to beconsidered with the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G41ndash44 explain theenvironmental management to the community surrounding the port and KPIs of G45ndash411identify the social sustainability in port KPIs of G412ndash419 identify the organization and

community management to port The preferable KPIs recommend as an important indicatorlevel of difference implementation followed by three types of ports that are found in KPIsgroup 3 and group 4 are significant different testings
In addition the performance measurement of KPIs group 3 in container ports and multi-purposeports need to be given a high importance level of practice planningmore than non-container ports Theperformance measurement of KPIs group 4 in non-container ports and multi-purpose ports need tooffer a high important level of operational management more than container ports In light of theresults obtained container ports andmulti-purpose ports require operational integrating financial andsocial efficiency of KPI group 3 to performance measurement in port Furthermore the practice of KPIgroup 3 in non-container port demands the least importance to manage the performance measure-ment in ports For the need of KPI group 4 container ports require operational indication by the leastimportant social and organizational management less than non-container ports and multi-purposeports these two types of ports affect the more natural environment and social surroundings Allinformation support is to direct the development of a sustainable port which explains the sustainableperformance measurement and port management
5 ConclusionsPort operation focuses on improving port sustainability in order to add value to the high profile ofinternational ports and reduce environmental and social impacts Together with this port operationsupports maritime transport and the overall economic system However in performing the portoperation environmental and social problems have been found and are lacking the sustainableport KPIs This paper finds four sustainable port KPI groups using exploratory factor analysis Thefindings also identify that the sustainable port KPIs are formed into groups The four KPI groups areshown with 91 sustainable port KPIs display factor loadings being higher than a 07 level indicationThese KPIs are included in the environmental aspect 22 KPIs social aspect 28 KPIs economic aspect27 KPIs and port organizational management aspect 14 KPIs
KPI group 1 and group 2 are the critical KPI to explain the high importance of port sustainabilityThese critical KPIs must be applied to sustainable port management Whereas the preferable KPI arefound in KPI group 3 and group 4 which are supported to port sustainability Besides three types ofport are tested for the different group using one-way ANOVA with the important levels of thesustainable port KPI groups As a result KPI group 1 and group 2 are presented as having significantnon-differences but KPI group 3 and group 4 are indicated as being significantly different between thethree types of ports Figure 3 introduces the sustainable port KPIs that contemporary port should applythese KPIs for improving their sustainable ports performance
Therefore port management should be considered with these sustainable port KPIs and sustainableport KPI groups to the first policy and practice for developing sustainability reports towards highperformance and creating a good image of environmentally and socially of sustainable ports Futureresearch can consider these findings in comparison to other stakeholders and in other areas or countries

1 IntroductionInternational shipping is strongly associated with global trade and port management that goes alongwith it have affected the environment and surrounding communities Therefore there is a need todevelop transportation and port sustainability Port operation in Thailand aims to increase its efficiencyand effectiveness of competitiveness particularly on the sustainable aspects of the environment andsocial dimensions (Office of the National Economic and Social Development Board 2017) Sustainablemanagement is an important concept to operate in port operation including of the three main pillars ofsustainable development namely environmental (to reduce the impact on the environment) social(community management) and economic (to help the organization benefit and enhance its economicperformance) These three pillars are intersected and have a relationship among the pillars (UNCTAD2017)
As a result port sustainability is challenging port authorities around the world to find ways ofoperating and managing their ports efficiently and effectively in terms of economic social as wellas environmental development (Chen amp Siu Lee Lam 2018 Roh Thai amp Wong 2016) Thereforesustainability for Thailand port is essential This paper thus aims to determine and analyze thesustainable port KPIs In this study Literature is reviewed to explore the sustainable port KPIs byintegrating academic aspect using academic peer-reviewed journals dated back 15 years togetherwith practical aspect using sustainable port annual reports of 12 ports from 40 of the worldrsquos topports (Review of Maritime Transport 2015 UNCTAD 2016) Exploratory factor analysis is applied tothe analysis in order to identify the sustainable port KPIs and sustainable port KPI groups Threetypes of ports namely container non-container and multi-purpose port are surveyed to see thesimilarity differentiation among port sustainable KPI groups from the three different types of ports
2 Literature review
21 Sustainable port managementSustainable port is the concept of port operation that is managed with triple bottle line These threepillars include the environmental social and economic pillars which intersect among pillars (SsilianJaegler amp Cariou 2016) Sustainable port is used in business strategy and considers the relationship ofthree pillars The aim of this concept is tomeet the stakeholder needs while defending the sustainabilityof social and natural resources (Sakar amp Cetin 2012) This is a challenge to the improved port operationand internal standard (Asgari Hassani Jones amp Nguye 2015) Therefore Sustainable port requires theoperation of three main pillars and depends on practical of the relationship among these pillars Theaims of the sustainable port are to improve the equilibrium of cost efficiency in port the environmentalport and societal port However there is still more pillars of port sustainability that supports the portoperation as well
22 Reviewed literature on sustainable port KPIsSustainable port KPIs are reviewed from sustainable port annual reports on the top 40 ports andacademic peer-reviewed journals related to port sustainability In the first goal of the research theresearcher aims to find all sustainable port KPIs which covers all practical and academic aspectsFirstly after reviewing 12 sustainable port reports from total 40 of the worldrsquos top ports (UNCTAD2016) it is found that there are 8 ports that present sustainable port KPIs in their annual reportsFour ports further have environmental ports annual reports Only annual reports of 8 ports fromtotal 40 ports are available in their websites (Long Beach port 2010 Busan port 2014 Los Anglesport 2014 Rotterdam port 2008 Bremerhaven port 2015 Santos port 2016 Antwerp port 2017Singapore port 2016) The variety of sustainable port KPIs is presented as part of the environmentpillar including consumption of energy water consumption and air emissions etc The social pillarfocuses on the quality of life community development safety management and employeeprofiles etc The economic pillar clarifies by capacity review for cargo financial and non-

financial performance and strengthens positions etc In addition it found that the organizationalmanagement pillar is an important aspect in improving port sustainability
Furthermore it is found there are annual reports of 4 more ports that are reviewed These 4reports showing in their port websites just present only one pillar namely environmental airquality noise management water quality and waste management (Dubai port 2016 Kaohsiungport 2016 Tanjung Pelepas port 2017 Valencia port 2017)
Secondly the total 163 articles are reviewed from academic peer-reviewed journals published in2003ndash2017 Four keywords are ldquosustainable portrdquo ldquoenvironmental portrdquo ldquosocial portrdquo and ldquoeconomicportrdquo are searched It is found that there are 79 articles in sustainable port 14 articles in environmentalport 4 articles in social port and 66 articles in economic port These academic articles are searched fromfour databases including Science Direct (96 articles) Emerald insight (35 articles) ABI Inform complete(22 articles) and Springer Link (10 articles) The number of articles on the AD year basis can besummarized as shown in Figure 1
During the period of 2003ndash2007 there are not somany articles regarding the keywords Also the 10articles on port sustainability are the fewest among the four keywords (Stojanovic Ormerod Smith ampWooldridge 2006) There are a total of 37 articles during the period of 2008ndash2012 This is a significantincrease in the number of reviewed papers Most articles are about environmental sustainability andfocused on identifying themain factors of port operation (Burskyte Belous amp Stasiskiene 2011 Delai ampTakahashi 2011 Lopes 2012) A larger number of 116 articles are published from 2013 to 1017 andthe concept of port sustainability is applied in practical planning and strategic business Most articleson port sustainability introduced the concept key element and various KPIs (Asgari et al 2015 LaxeBermuacutedez Palmero amp Novo-Corti 2016 Zhang Kim Tee amp Lam 2017) These articles are achieved byliterature review conceptual frameworks and case study (Davarzani Fahimnia Bell amp Sarkis 2016Puig Wooldridge amp Darbra 2014 Xiao amp Lam 2017)
Sustainable port KPIs is analyzed by content analysis that it is found 156 KPIs Three main pillarsare found together with the environmental port social port and economic port pillarsFurthermore organizational management principle is found as one more dimension extendedfrom three main pillars Therewith these sustainable port KPIs of three main pillars and one

principle are put into the questionnaires survey in order to classify the sustainable port KPI groupsfrom three types of ports
3 MethodologyThis study analyzes the data using mixed methods of both qualitative and quantitative research toidentify the sustainable port KPIs from the three types of ports in the Eastern Economic Corridor(EEC) of Thailand The research design is divided into two phases Firstly qualitative approachthrough content analysis is applied to find the sustainable port KPIs using academic peer-reviewedjournals published between 2003 and 2017 which are searched database from Emerald insightSpringer Link Science Direct and ABI Inform Together with sustainable port annual reports of 12ports from the 40 top ports (UNCTAD 2016) Secondly a quantitative approach by factor analysis isapplied to classify these KPIs into main group base on sustainable pillars
31 Framework of statistics analysisThis study is analyzed through four steps as shown in Figure 2 Step 1 the literature reviewed found156 sustainable port KPIs by content analysis Step 2 is questionnaires survey Step 3 inferentialstatistics analysis using exploration factor analysis is applied to analysis the sustainable port KPIgroups and sustainable port KPIs These sustainable port KPIs are selected with factor loadings thatare above 07 (70) in general which factor loadings are similar to correlation coefficients in that theycan vary from minus1 to 1 (Gefen Straub amp Boudreau 2000 MacCallum Widaman Preacher amp Hong2001) This factor analysis is to use a data reduction method designed to explain the correlationsbetween observed variables (Lu Shang amp Lin 2016a 2016b Gebauer Putzr Fischer Wang amp Lin2008) Step 4 one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) using Scheffe testing is employed to test thedifference of the important levels of the KPI group with the three types of ports (Chawla amp Joshi 2010Diaz amp Rodriguez 2016) This ANOVA test is a technique using to compare means of two or moresamples for determiningwhether there are any statistically significant differences between themeansof three or more independent groups (Howell 2002) Finally 91 sustainable port KPIs are selectedforming to the critical KPI and the preferable KPI group
32 Data population collection and questionnaire designThe total populations are 63 managers who directly respond to sustainable port All of managersare to work in EEC of Thailand ports which 21 terminals are including the 18 terminals of LaemChabang port controlled by the Port Authority of Thailand (Laem Chabang port 2017) and another3 private ports in the area Although the number of criteria (156 KPIs) and the number ofrespondents (63 managers) are not to the scale proportion But if we increase the respondent

number it may create more error instead of having a better statistical meaning Since the directmanagers who involved with sustainability are very few in each port
The instruments are a questionnaire survey which is filled with face to face interview to indicatethe level of importance of the sustainable port KPIs with a 10-level scale (Amrina amp Vilsi 2015) Theimportance of sustainable port KPIs ranged from strongly disagree (1-low) to strongly agree (10-high)in regards to sustainable port The questionnaire has two sections Section one the demographicinformation relates company and personal information about the company name portterminaloperator ISO certificate PSHE-MS member type of port position responsibility and educationSection two contains two subsections the question of sustainable port KPIs the important levels(from 1 to 10) and other indicators of the respondentrsquos opinion
The questionnaires regarding 156 KPIs are distributed to the total population 63 managers in 21terminals The completed questionnaires are accounted for 57 managers that are 9048 of therespondents Operational manager with 7719 middle manager with 1228 and top manager with1053 Of this total 5614 responded to sustainable development and 3509 responded to portmanagement and 877 are others responsibility More than a half of managers 5263 in Masterdegree Bachelorrsquos degree in 4737 and there is no one graduate in a Doctoral degree Moreover Typeof ports in data collection displayed with 5789 in container port 2105 in non-container port and2105 in multi-purpose port
4 Findings and discussionsThe findings of this study are divided into three parts Firstly the results of the exploration factoranalysis of port sustainable KPI groups and factor loading of sustainable port KPIs Secondary theanalysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing means of the important levels of KPI among three typesof ports Finally discussion of the analysis result
41 Results of exploration factor analysis for sustainable port KPI groupsThe analysis of Pearsonrsquos correlation measures the correlation coefficient by studying the relation-ship between variables The correlation test is significant at the 005 level (2-tailed) It seems to beconcluded that most of the KPI variables are correlated to each other This confirms that factoranalysis can be used with this data (Iddris 2016 Vanichbuncha 2010) The KPIs are analyzed toclassify KPI groups Table 1 displays the results of variance and cumulative percentage each KPIgroups To achieve an acceptable fit it found that there are four KPI groups group 1 and group 2show the high percentages of variance which are 26519 and 24290 respectively Then group3 and group 4 show a variance of 19337 and 19008 respectively
The cumulative percentage is explained by the variance that applies to select an optimal numberof KPI group In this study we choose four KPI groups as the cumulative variance of 89153 thatpresent a high percentage to confirm the number of KPI group
Table 2 presents the factor analysis with principal component method extraction The varimaxrotation is adapted to steps for evaluating the terms of error of indicators that composes the factorsThe results show factor loadings being more than 07 levels indicating that the KPI is highly importantto be represented to the corresponding KPI groups The sustainable port KPIs are of total 91 KPIs from

156 KPIs KPI group 1 determines the highest numbers of sustainable port KPIs with economic portmanner KPI group 2 concludes as having the most sustainable port KPIs with environmental portmanagement KPI group 3 identifies the highest numbers of sustainable port KPIs with impartial portmanagement KPI group 4 indicates most of sustainable port KPIs with social port management
42 The analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing means of the important level of KPI amongthree types of portsThis part analyzes the differences in the importance level among four KPI groups from the threetypes of ports container ports non-container port and multi-purpose port
Table 3 presents the results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing the important levelswithin the four KPI groups following the three types of ports This table shows the Scheffetesting for alpha 05 of all KPI groups This analysis further found that KPI group 1 and group 2has non-significant differences among the three types of ports KPI groups 1 and 2 arepresented as having a high level of important indicators which show higher than 08 importantlevels KPI group 1 shows the non-container ports (988) multi-purpose ports (869) andcontainer ports (846) KPI group 2 displays the mean levels of importance indicators by non-container ports (982) multi-purpose ports (915) and container ports (817) Thus in the threetypes of ports the important indicators need to operate to port sustainability has nodifferentiation
KPIgroup3andgroup4 indicatea significantdifference in the three typesofports KPI group3 fornon-container ports is shown to have the lowest level of indicators of importance (512) after that is themulti-purpose port (754) and container port (883) KPI group 4 for container ports is given to the lowestlevel of importance indicators (719) while the mean level of importance indicators for multi-purposeports (920) and non-container ports (953) are shown to have the highest level of importance indicatorsTherefore container ports offer an important level of KPI group 3 more than non-container ports alsomulti-purpose ports provide an important level of KPI group of three more than a non-container portHowever container ports andmulti-purpose port are given the important level of KPI group 3 with non-differentiation
43 DiscussionsSustainable port is the greatest challenge in the world of ports (Mora Orejas Subirats Ibanez ampAlvarez 2005 Mori amp Best 2017) Ports in Asia have been implementing various green and sustainableactivities seeking to reduce the environmental and social impacts of shipping and port activities (Rohet al 2016 Hou amp Geerlings 2016) In this paper it is found that KPI groups are divided into twomaingroups including the critical KPI groups and the preferable KPI group KPI group 1 and group 2 are thecritical KPI in which the sustainable port must be operated to port management Additionally KPIgroup 3 and group 4 are the preferable KPI groups that port operation need to apply sustainable portsfollowed by types of ports

Sustainable port KPIs total 91 KPIs are comprised of the environmental aspect 22 KPIs (2418)social aspect 28 KPIs (3077) economic aspect 27 KPIs (2967) and port organizational manage-ment aspect 14 KPIs (1538) as shown in Figure 3 This paper introduces that modern port shouldapply these sustainable port KPIs in order to improve their sustainable ports performance
The critical KPIs are shown in the highest explanation of sustainable ports in the 30 KPIs of KPIgroup 1 and 23 KPIs of KPI group 2 There are a total of 53 KPIs that must be considered foroperational planning in ports to achieve port practice towards port sustainability The KPIs group 1presents the economic port manner referring to the port management that is achieved byintegrating key cost efficiency and cooperate social responsibility in ports Port operation canachieve KPIs in group 1 with KPIs of G11ndash130 The applied practices of sustainable port planningcan be considered for the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G11ndash12 explain themanagement of environmental costs and G13ndash113 indicates the cost of cooperate social respon-sibility G14ndash130 specifies the economic management which offers the financial and consumptionin port Port operation can achieve KPIs in group 2 with KPIs of G21ndash223 The applied operationsof sustainable port performance are to consider the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG21ndash213 and G18-23 explain the environmental management in ports and G214ndash117 point tothe environmental efficiency cost and social responsibility However these critical KPIs are pre-sented with non-difference in the level of importance indicators to practice of the three types ofports These ports will be applicable for operation to develop sustainable KPIs for producing thepractical plan and key measurement in port operation
The preferable KPIs are revealed in the exceptional sustainable port KPIs of sustainable portsin the 19 KPIs of KPI group 3 and 19 KPIs of KPI group 4 There are a total of 38 KPIs needed toreflect on operational planning in ports for achieving better performance in port sustainabilityIn the KPIs group 3 presents about the impartial port management referring to the portmanagement that is achieved the superimposed economic and social efficiency in port Portoperation can be achieved with KPIs in group 3 with KPIs of G 31ndash319 The port managementof sustainable planning is to be considered to factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG31ndash33 explain the management of the equitable environment and KPIs of G34ndash119 shownfor operating the social-economic management of a port In the KPIs group 4 it indicated thatthe social port management referring to the port management Port practice can achieve KPIsin group 4 with KPIs of G 41ndash419 The planning of sustainable port operation is to beconsidered with the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G41ndash44 explain theenvironmental management to the community surrounding the port and KPIs of G45ndash411identify the social sustainability in port KPIs of G412ndash419 identify the organization and

community management to port The preferable KPIs recommend as an important indicatorlevel of difference implementation followed by three types of ports that are found in KPIsgroup 3 and group 4 are significant different testings
In addition the performance measurement of KPIs group 3 in container ports and multi-purposeports need to be given a high importance level of practice planningmore than non-container ports Theperformance measurement of KPIs group 4 in non-container ports and multi-purpose ports need tooffer a high important level of operational management more than container ports In light of theresults obtained container ports andmulti-purpose ports require operational integrating financial andsocial efficiency of KPI group 3 to performance measurement in port Furthermore the practice of KPIgroup 3 in non-container port demands the least importance to manage the performance measure-ment in ports For the need of KPI group 4 container ports require operational indication by the leastimportant social and organizational management less than non-container ports and multi-purposeports these two types of ports affect the more natural environment and social surroundings Allinformation support is to direct the development of a sustainable port which explains the sustainableperformance measurement and port management
5 ConclusionsPort operation focuses on improving port sustainability in order to add value to the high profile ofinternational ports and reduce environmental and social impacts Together with this port operationsupports maritime transport and the overall economic system However in performing the portoperation environmental and social problems have been found and are lacking the sustainableport KPIs This paper finds four sustainable port KPI groups using exploratory factor analysis Thefindings also identify that the sustainable port KPIs are formed into groups The four KPI groups areshown with 91 sustainable port KPIs display factor loadings being higher than a 07 level indicationThese KPIs are included in the environmental aspect 22 KPIs social aspect 28 KPIs economic aspect27 KPIs and port organizational management aspect 14 KPIs
KPI group 1 and group 2 are the critical KPI to explain the high importance of port sustainabilityThese critical KPIs must be applied to sustainable port management Whereas the preferable KPI arefound in KPI group 3 and group 4 which are supported to port sustainability Besides three types ofport are tested for the different group using one-way ANOVA with the important levels of thesustainable port KPI groups As a result KPI group 1 and group 2 are presented as having significantnon-differences but KPI group 3 and group 4 are indicated as being significantly different between thethree types of ports Figure 3 introduces the sustainable port KPIs that contemporary port should applythese KPIs for improving their sustainable ports performance
Therefore port management should be considered with these sustainable port KPIs and sustainableport KPI groups to the first policy and practice for developing sustainability reports towards highperformance and creating a good image of environmentally and socially of sustainable ports Futureresearch can consider these findings in comparison to other stakeholders and in other areas or countries

financial performance and strengthens positions etc In addition it found that the organizationalmanagement pillar is an important aspect in improving port sustainability
Furthermore it is found there are annual reports of 4 more ports that are reviewed These 4reports showing in their port websites just present only one pillar namely environmental airquality noise management water quality and waste management (Dubai port 2016 Kaohsiungport 2016 Tanjung Pelepas port 2017 Valencia port 2017)
Secondly the total 163 articles are reviewed from academic peer-reviewed journals published in2003ndash2017 Four keywords are ldquosustainable portrdquo ldquoenvironmental portrdquo ldquosocial portrdquo and ldquoeconomicportrdquo are searched It is found that there are 79 articles in sustainable port 14 articles in environmentalport 4 articles in social port and 66 articles in economic port These academic articles are searched fromfour databases including Science Direct (96 articles) Emerald insight (35 articles) ABI Inform complete(22 articles) and Springer Link (10 articles) The number of articles on the AD year basis can besummarized as shown in Figure 1
During the period of 2003ndash2007 there are not somany articles regarding the keywords Also the 10articles on port sustainability are the fewest among the four keywords (Stojanovic Ormerod Smith ampWooldridge 2006) There are a total of 37 articles during the period of 2008ndash2012 This is a significantincrease in the number of reviewed papers Most articles are about environmental sustainability andfocused on identifying themain factors of port operation (Burskyte Belous amp Stasiskiene 2011 Delai ampTakahashi 2011 Lopes 2012) A larger number of 116 articles are published from 2013 to 1017 andthe concept of port sustainability is applied in practical planning and strategic business Most articleson port sustainability introduced the concept key element and various KPIs (Asgari et al 2015 LaxeBermuacutedez Palmero amp Novo-Corti 2016 Zhang Kim Tee amp Lam 2017) These articles are achieved byliterature review conceptual frameworks and case study (Davarzani Fahimnia Bell amp Sarkis 2016Puig Wooldridge amp Darbra 2014 Xiao amp Lam 2017)
Sustainable port KPIs is analyzed by content analysis that it is found 156 KPIs Three main pillarsare found together with the environmental port social port and economic port pillarsFurthermore organizational management principle is found as one more dimension extendedfrom three main pillars Therewith these sustainable port KPIs of three main pillars and one

principle are put into the questionnaires survey in order to classify the sustainable port KPI groupsfrom three types of ports
3 MethodologyThis study analyzes the data using mixed methods of both qualitative and quantitative research toidentify the sustainable port KPIs from the three types of ports in the Eastern Economic Corridor(EEC) of Thailand The research design is divided into two phases Firstly qualitative approachthrough content analysis is applied to find the sustainable port KPIs using academic peer-reviewedjournals published between 2003 and 2017 which are searched database from Emerald insightSpringer Link Science Direct and ABI Inform Together with sustainable port annual reports of 12ports from the 40 top ports (UNCTAD 2016) Secondly a quantitative approach by factor analysis isapplied to classify these KPIs into main group base on sustainable pillars
31 Framework of statistics analysisThis study is analyzed through four steps as shown in Figure 2 Step 1 the literature reviewed found156 sustainable port KPIs by content analysis Step 2 is questionnaires survey Step 3 inferentialstatistics analysis using exploration factor analysis is applied to analysis the sustainable port KPIgroups and sustainable port KPIs These sustainable port KPIs are selected with factor loadings thatare above 07 (70) in general which factor loadings are similar to correlation coefficients in that theycan vary from minus1 to 1 (Gefen Straub amp Boudreau 2000 MacCallum Widaman Preacher amp Hong2001) This factor analysis is to use a data reduction method designed to explain the correlationsbetween observed variables (Lu Shang amp Lin 2016a 2016b Gebauer Putzr Fischer Wang amp Lin2008) Step 4 one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) using Scheffe testing is employed to test thedifference of the important levels of the KPI group with the three types of ports (Chawla amp Joshi 2010Diaz amp Rodriguez 2016) This ANOVA test is a technique using to compare means of two or moresamples for determiningwhether there are any statistically significant differences between themeansof three or more independent groups (Howell 2002) Finally 91 sustainable port KPIs are selectedforming to the critical KPI and the preferable KPI group
32 Data population collection and questionnaire designThe total populations are 63 managers who directly respond to sustainable port All of managersare to work in EEC of Thailand ports which 21 terminals are including the 18 terminals of LaemChabang port controlled by the Port Authority of Thailand (Laem Chabang port 2017) and another3 private ports in the area Although the number of criteria (156 KPIs) and the number ofrespondents (63 managers) are not to the scale proportion But if we increase the respondent

number it may create more error instead of having a better statistical meaning Since the directmanagers who involved with sustainability are very few in each port
The instruments are a questionnaire survey which is filled with face to face interview to indicatethe level of importance of the sustainable port KPIs with a 10-level scale (Amrina amp Vilsi 2015) Theimportance of sustainable port KPIs ranged from strongly disagree (1-low) to strongly agree (10-high)in regards to sustainable port The questionnaire has two sections Section one the demographicinformation relates company and personal information about the company name portterminaloperator ISO certificate PSHE-MS member type of port position responsibility and educationSection two contains two subsections the question of sustainable port KPIs the important levels(from 1 to 10) and other indicators of the respondentrsquos opinion
The questionnaires regarding 156 KPIs are distributed to the total population 63 managers in 21terminals The completed questionnaires are accounted for 57 managers that are 9048 of therespondents Operational manager with 7719 middle manager with 1228 and top manager with1053 Of this total 5614 responded to sustainable development and 3509 responded to portmanagement and 877 are others responsibility More than a half of managers 5263 in Masterdegree Bachelorrsquos degree in 4737 and there is no one graduate in a Doctoral degree Moreover Typeof ports in data collection displayed with 5789 in container port 2105 in non-container port and2105 in multi-purpose port
4 Findings and discussionsThe findings of this study are divided into three parts Firstly the results of the exploration factoranalysis of port sustainable KPI groups and factor loading of sustainable port KPIs Secondary theanalysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing means of the important levels of KPI among three typesof ports Finally discussion of the analysis result
41 Results of exploration factor analysis for sustainable port KPI groupsThe analysis of Pearsonrsquos correlation measures the correlation coefficient by studying the relation-ship between variables The correlation test is significant at the 005 level (2-tailed) It seems to beconcluded that most of the KPI variables are correlated to each other This confirms that factoranalysis can be used with this data (Iddris 2016 Vanichbuncha 2010) The KPIs are analyzed toclassify KPI groups Table 1 displays the results of variance and cumulative percentage each KPIgroups To achieve an acceptable fit it found that there are four KPI groups group 1 and group 2show the high percentages of variance which are 26519 and 24290 respectively Then group3 and group 4 show a variance of 19337 and 19008 respectively
The cumulative percentage is explained by the variance that applies to select an optimal numberof KPI group In this study we choose four KPI groups as the cumulative variance of 89153 thatpresent a high percentage to confirm the number of KPI group
Table 2 presents the factor analysis with principal component method extraction The varimaxrotation is adapted to steps for evaluating the terms of error of indicators that composes the factorsThe results show factor loadings being more than 07 levels indicating that the KPI is highly importantto be represented to the corresponding KPI groups The sustainable port KPIs are of total 91 KPIs from

156 KPIs KPI group 1 determines the highest numbers of sustainable port KPIs with economic portmanner KPI group 2 concludes as having the most sustainable port KPIs with environmental portmanagement KPI group 3 identifies the highest numbers of sustainable port KPIs with impartial portmanagement KPI group 4 indicates most of sustainable port KPIs with social port management
42 The analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing means of the important level of KPI amongthree types of portsThis part analyzes the differences in the importance level among four KPI groups from the threetypes of ports container ports non-container port and multi-purpose port
Table 3 presents the results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing the important levelswithin the four KPI groups following the three types of ports This table shows the Scheffetesting for alpha 05 of all KPI groups This analysis further found that KPI group 1 and group 2has non-significant differences among the three types of ports KPI groups 1 and 2 arepresented as having a high level of important indicators which show higher than 08 importantlevels KPI group 1 shows the non-container ports (988) multi-purpose ports (869) andcontainer ports (846) KPI group 2 displays the mean levels of importance indicators by non-container ports (982) multi-purpose ports (915) and container ports (817) Thus in the threetypes of ports the important indicators need to operate to port sustainability has nodifferentiation
KPIgroup3andgroup4 indicatea significantdifference in the three typesofports KPI group3 fornon-container ports is shown to have the lowest level of indicators of importance (512) after that is themulti-purpose port (754) and container port (883) KPI group 4 for container ports is given to the lowestlevel of importance indicators (719) while the mean level of importance indicators for multi-purposeports (920) and non-container ports (953) are shown to have the highest level of importance indicatorsTherefore container ports offer an important level of KPI group 3 more than non-container ports alsomulti-purpose ports provide an important level of KPI group of three more than a non-container portHowever container ports andmulti-purpose port are given the important level of KPI group 3 with non-differentiation
43 DiscussionsSustainable port is the greatest challenge in the world of ports (Mora Orejas Subirats Ibanez ampAlvarez 2005 Mori amp Best 2017) Ports in Asia have been implementing various green and sustainableactivities seeking to reduce the environmental and social impacts of shipping and port activities (Rohet al 2016 Hou amp Geerlings 2016) In this paper it is found that KPI groups are divided into twomaingroups including the critical KPI groups and the preferable KPI group KPI group 1 and group 2 are thecritical KPI in which the sustainable port must be operated to port management Additionally KPIgroup 3 and group 4 are the preferable KPI groups that port operation need to apply sustainable portsfollowed by types of ports

Sustainable port KPIs total 91 KPIs are comprised of the environmental aspect 22 KPIs (2418)social aspect 28 KPIs (3077) economic aspect 27 KPIs (2967) and port organizational manage-ment aspect 14 KPIs (1538) as shown in Figure 3 This paper introduces that modern port shouldapply these sustainable port KPIs in order to improve their sustainable ports performance
The critical KPIs are shown in the highest explanation of sustainable ports in the 30 KPIs of KPIgroup 1 and 23 KPIs of KPI group 2 There are a total of 53 KPIs that must be considered foroperational planning in ports to achieve port practice towards port sustainability The KPIs group 1presents the economic port manner referring to the port management that is achieved byintegrating key cost efficiency and cooperate social responsibility in ports Port operation canachieve KPIs in group 1 with KPIs of G11ndash130 The applied practices of sustainable port planningcan be considered for the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G11ndash12 explain themanagement of environmental costs and G13ndash113 indicates the cost of cooperate social respon-sibility G14ndash130 specifies the economic management which offers the financial and consumptionin port Port operation can achieve KPIs in group 2 with KPIs of G21ndash223 The applied operationsof sustainable port performance are to consider the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG21ndash213 and G18-23 explain the environmental management in ports and G214ndash117 point tothe environmental efficiency cost and social responsibility However these critical KPIs are pre-sented with non-difference in the level of importance indicators to practice of the three types ofports These ports will be applicable for operation to develop sustainable KPIs for producing thepractical plan and key measurement in port operation
The preferable KPIs are revealed in the exceptional sustainable port KPIs of sustainable portsin the 19 KPIs of KPI group 3 and 19 KPIs of KPI group 4 There are a total of 38 KPIs needed toreflect on operational planning in ports for achieving better performance in port sustainabilityIn the KPIs group 3 presents about the impartial port management referring to the portmanagement that is achieved the superimposed economic and social efficiency in port Portoperation can be achieved with KPIs in group 3 with KPIs of G 31ndash319 The port managementof sustainable planning is to be considered to factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG31ndash33 explain the management of the equitable environment and KPIs of G34ndash119 shownfor operating the social-economic management of a port In the KPIs group 4 it indicated thatthe social port management referring to the port management Port practice can achieve KPIsin group 4 with KPIs of G 41ndash419 The planning of sustainable port operation is to beconsidered with the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G41ndash44 explain theenvironmental management to the community surrounding the port and KPIs of G45ndash411identify the social sustainability in port KPIs of G412ndash419 identify the organization and

community management to port The preferable KPIs recommend as an important indicatorlevel of difference implementation followed by three types of ports that are found in KPIsgroup 3 and group 4 are significant different testings
In addition the performance measurement of KPIs group 3 in container ports and multi-purposeports need to be given a high importance level of practice planningmore than non-container ports Theperformance measurement of KPIs group 4 in non-container ports and multi-purpose ports need tooffer a high important level of operational management more than container ports In light of theresults obtained container ports andmulti-purpose ports require operational integrating financial andsocial efficiency of KPI group 3 to performance measurement in port Furthermore the practice of KPIgroup 3 in non-container port demands the least importance to manage the performance measure-ment in ports For the need of KPI group 4 container ports require operational indication by the leastimportant social and organizational management less than non-container ports and multi-purposeports these two types of ports affect the more natural environment and social surroundings Allinformation support is to direct the development of a sustainable port which explains the sustainableperformance measurement and port management
5 ConclusionsPort operation focuses on improving port sustainability in order to add value to the high profile ofinternational ports and reduce environmental and social impacts Together with this port operationsupports maritime transport and the overall economic system However in performing the portoperation environmental and social problems have been found and are lacking the sustainableport KPIs This paper finds four sustainable port KPI groups using exploratory factor analysis Thefindings also identify that the sustainable port KPIs are formed into groups The four KPI groups areshown with 91 sustainable port KPIs display factor loadings being higher than a 07 level indicationThese KPIs are included in the environmental aspect 22 KPIs social aspect 28 KPIs economic aspect27 KPIs and port organizational management aspect 14 KPIs
KPI group 1 and group 2 are the critical KPI to explain the high importance of port sustainabilityThese critical KPIs must be applied to sustainable port management Whereas the preferable KPI arefound in KPI group 3 and group 4 which are supported to port sustainability Besides three types ofport are tested for the different group using one-way ANOVA with the important levels of thesustainable port KPI groups As a result KPI group 1 and group 2 are presented as having significantnon-differences but KPI group 3 and group 4 are indicated as being significantly different between thethree types of ports Figure 3 introduces the sustainable port KPIs that contemporary port should applythese KPIs for improving their sustainable ports performance
Therefore port management should be considered with these sustainable port KPIs and sustainableport KPI groups to the first policy and practice for developing sustainability reports towards highperformance and creating a good image of environmentally and socially of sustainable ports Futureresearch can consider these findings in comparison to other stakeholders and in other areas or countries

principle are put into the questionnaires survey in order to classify the sustainable port KPI groupsfrom three types of ports
3 MethodologyThis study analyzes the data using mixed methods of both qualitative and quantitative research toidentify the sustainable port KPIs from the three types of ports in the Eastern Economic Corridor(EEC) of Thailand The research design is divided into two phases Firstly qualitative approachthrough content analysis is applied to find the sustainable port KPIs using academic peer-reviewedjournals published between 2003 and 2017 which are searched database from Emerald insightSpringer Link Science Direct and ABI Inform Together with sustainable port annual reports of 12ports from the 40 top ports (UNCTAD 2016) Secondly a quantitative approach by factor analysis isapplied to classify these KPIs into main group base on sustainable pillars
31 Framework of statistics analysisThis study is analyzed through four steps as shown in Figure 2 Step 1 the literature reviewed found156 sustainable port KPIs by content analysis Step 2 is questionnaires survey Step 3 inferentialstatistics analysis using exploration factor analysis is applied to analysis the sustainable port KPIgroups and sustainable port KPIs These sustainable port KPIs are selected with factor loadings thatare above 07 (70) in general which factor loadings are similar to correlation coefficients in that theycan vary from minus1 to 1 (Gefen Straub amp Boudreau 2000 MacCallum Widaman Preacher amp Hong2001) This factor analysis is to use a data reduction method designed to explain the correlationsbetween observed variables (Lu Shang amp Lin 2016a 2016b Gebauer Putzr Fischer Wang amp Lin2008) Step 4 one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) using Scheffe testing is employed to test thedifference of the important levels of the KPI group with the three types of ports (Chawla amp Joshi 2010Diaz amp Rodriguez 2016) This ANOVA test is a technique using to compare means of two or moresamples for determiningwhether there are any statistically significant differences between themeansof three or more independent groups (Howell 2002) Finally 91 sustainable port KPIs are selectedforming to the critical KPI and the preferable KPI group
32 Data population collection and questionnaire designThe total populations are 63 managers who directly respond to sustainable port All of managersare to work in EEC of Thailand ports which 21 terminals are including the 18 terminals of LaemChabang port controlled by the Port Authority of Thailand (Laem Chabang port 2017) and another3 private ports in the area Although the number of criteria (156 KPIs) and the number ofrespondents (63 managers) are not to the scale proportion But if we increase the respondent

number it may create more error instead of having a better statistical meaning Since the directmanagers who involved with sustainability are very few in each port
The instruments are a questionnaire survey which is filled with face to face interview to indicatethe level of importance of the sustainable port KPIs with a 10-level scale (Amrina amp Vilsi 2015) Theimportance of sustainable port KPIs ranged from strongly disagree (1-low) to strongly agree (10-high)in regards to sustainable port The questionnaire has two sections Section one the demographicinformation relates company and personal information about the company name portterminaloperator ISO certificate PSHE-MS member type of port position responsibility and educationSection two contains two subsections the question of sustainable port KPIs the important levels(from 1 to 10) and other indicators of the respondentrsquos opinion
The questionnaires regarding 156 KPIs are distributed to the total population 63 managers in 21terminals The completed questionnaires are accounted for 57 managers that are 9048 of therespondents Operational manager with 7719 middle manager with 1228 and top manager with1053 Of this total 5614 responded to sustainable development and 3509 responded to portmanagement and 877 are others responsibility More than a half of managers 5263 in Masterdegree Bachelorrsquos degree in 4737 and there is no one graduate in a Doctoral degree Moreover Typeof ports in data collection displayed with 5789 in container port 2105 in non-container port and2105 in multi-purpose port
4 Findings and discussionsThe findings of this study are divided into three parts Firstly the results of the exploration factoranalysis of port sustainable KPI groups and factor loading of sustainable port KPIs Secondary theanalysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing means of the important levels of KPI among three typesof ports Finally discussion of the analysis result
41 Results of exploration factor analysis for sustainable port KPI groupsThe analysis of Pearsonrsquos correlation measures the correlation coefficient by studying the relation-ship between variables The correlation test is significant at the 005 level (2-tailed) It seems to beconcluded that most of the KPI variables are correlated to each other This confirms that factoranalysis can be used with this data (Iddris 2016 Vanichbuncha 2010) The KPIs are analyzed toclassify KPI groups Table 1 displays the results of variance and cumulative percentage each KPIgroups To achieve an acceptable fit it found that there are four KPI groups group 1 and group 2show the high percentages of variance which are 26519 and 24290 respectively Then group3 and group 4 show a variance of 19337 and 19008 respectively
The cumulative percentage is explained by the variance that applies to select an optimal numberof KPI group In this study we choose four KPI groups as the cumulative variance of 89153 thatpresent a high percentage to confirm the number of KPI group
Table 2 presents the factor analysis with principal component method extraction The varimaxrotation is adapted to steps for evaluating the terms of error of indicators that composes the factorsThe results show factor loadings being more than 07 levels indicating that the KPI is highly importantto be represented to the corresponding KPI groups The sustainable port KPIs are of total 91 KPIs from

156 KPIs KPI group 1 determines the highest numbers of sustainable port KPIs with economic portmanner KPI group 2 concludes as having the most sustainable port KPIs with environmental portmanagement KPI group 3 identifies the highest numbers of sustainable port KPIs with impartial portmanagement KPI group 4 indicates most of sustainable port KPIs with social port management
42 The analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing means of the important level of KPI amongthree types of portsThis part analyzes the differences in the importance level among four KPI groups from the threetypes of ports container ports non-container port and multi-purpose port
Table 3 presents the results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing the important levelswithin the four KPI groups following the three types of ports This table shows the Scheffetesting for alpha 05 of all KPI groups This analysis further found that KPI group 1 and group 2has non-significant differences among the three types of ports KPI groups 1 and 2 arepresented as having a high level of important indicators which show higher than 08 importantlevels KPI group 1 shows the non-container ports (988) multi-purpose ports (869) andcontainer ports (846) KPI group 2 displays the mean levels of importance indicators by non-container ports (982) multi-purpose ports (915) and container ports (817) Thus in the threetypes of ports the important indicators need to operate to port sustainability has nodifferentiation
KPIgroup3andgroup4 indicatea significantdifference in the three typesofports KPI group3 fornon-container ports is shown to have the lowest level of indicators of importance (512) after that is themulti-purpose port (754) and container port (883) KPI group 4 for container ports is given to the lowestlevel of importance indicators (719) while the mean level of importance indicators for multi-purposeports (920) and non-container ports (953) are shown to have the highest level of importance indicatorsTherefore container ports offer an important level of KPI group 3 more than non-container ports alsomulti-purpose ports provide an important level of KPI group of three more than a non-container portHowever container ports andmulti-purpose port are given the important level of KPI group 3 with non-differentiation
43 DiscussionsSustainable port is the greatest challenge in the world of ports (Mora Orejas Subirats Ibanez ampAlvarez 2005 Mori amp Best 2017) Ports in Asia have been implementing various green and sustainableactivities seeking to reduce the environmental and social impacts of shipping and port activities (Rohet al 2016 Hou amp Geerlings 2016) In this paper it is found that KPI groups are divided into twomaingroups including the critical KPI groups and the preferable KPI group KPI group 1 and group 2 are thecritical KPI in which the sustainable port must be operated to port management Additionally KPIgroup 3 and group 4 are the preferable KPI groups that port operation need to apply sustainable portsfollowed by types of ports

Sustainable port KPIs total 91 KPIs are comprised of the environmental aspect 22 KPIs (2418)social aspect 28 KPIs (3077) economic aspect 27 KPIs (2967) and port organizational manage-ment aspect 14 KPIs (1538) as shown in Figure 3 This paper introduces that modern port shouldapply these sustainable port KPIs in order to improve their sustainable ports performance
The critical KPIs are shown in the highest explanation of sustainable ports in the 30 KPIs of KPIgroup 1 and 23 KPIs of KPI group 2 There are a total of 53 KPIs that must be considered foroperational planning in ports to achieve port practice towards port sustainability The KPIs group 1presents the economic port manner referring to the port management that is achieved byintegrating key cost efficiency and cooperate social responsibility in ports Port operation canachieve KPIs in group 1 with KPIs of G11ndash130 The applied practices of sustainable port planningcan be considered for the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G11ndash12 explain themanagement of environmental costs and G13ndash113 indicates the cost of cooperate social respon-sibility G14ndash130 specifies the economic management which offers the financial and consumptionin port Port operation can achieve KPIs in group 2 with KPIs of G21ndash223 The applied operationsof sustainable port performance are to consider the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG21ndash213 and G18-23 explain the environmental management in ports and G214ndash117 point tothe environmental efficiency cost and social responsibility However these critical KPIs are pre-sented with non-difference in the level of importance indicators to practice of the three types ofports These ports will be applicable for operation to develop sustainable KPIs for producing thepractical plan and key measurement in port operation
The preferable KPIs are revealed in the exceptional sustainable port KPIs of sustainable portsin the 19 KPIs of KPI group 3 and 19 KPIs of KPI group 4 There are a total of 38 KPIs needed toreflect on operational planning in ports for achieving better performance in port sustainabilityIn the KPIs group 3 presents about the impartial port management referring to the portmanagement that is achieved the superimposed economic and social efficiency in port Portoperation can be achieved with KPIs in group 3 with KPIs of G 31ndash319 The port managementof sustainable planning is to be considered to factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG31ndash33 explain the management of the equitable environment and KPIs of G34ndash119 shownfor operating the social-economic management of a port In the KPIs group 4 it indicated thatthe social port management referring to the port management Port practice can achieve KPIsin group 4 with KPIs of G 41ndash419 The planning of sustainable port operation is to beconsidered with the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G41ndash44 explain theenvironmental management to the community surrounding the port and KPIs of G45ndash411identify the social sustainability in port KPIs of G412ndash419 identify the organization and

community management to port The preferable KPIs recommend as an important indicatorlevel of difference implementation followed by three types of ports that are found in KPIsgroup 3 and group 4 are significant different testings
In addition the performance measurement of KPIs group 3 in container ports and multi-purposeports need to be given a high importance level of practice planningmore than non-container ports Theperformance measurement of KPIs group 4 in non-container ports and multi-purpose ports need tooffer a high important level of operational management more than container ports In light of theresults obtained container ports andmulti-purpose ports require operational integrating financial andsocial efficiency of KPI group 3 to performance measurement in port Furthermore the practice of KPIgroup 3 in non-container port demands the least importance to manage the performance measure-ment in ports For the need of KPI group 4 container ports require operational indication by the leastimportant social and organizational management less than non-container ports and multi-purposeports these two types of ports affect the more natural environment and social surroundings Allinformation support is to direct the development of a sustainable port which explains the sustainableperformance measurement and port management
5 ConclusionsPort operation focuses on improving port sustainability in order to add value to the high profile ofinternational ports and reduce environmental and social impacts Together with this port operationsupports maritime transport and the overall economic system However in performing the portoperation environmental and social problems have been found and are lacking the sustainableport KPIs This paper finds four sustainable port KPI groups using exploratory factor analysis Thefindings also identify that the sustainable port KPIs are formed into groups The four KPI groups areshown with 91 sustainable port KPIs display factor loadings being higher than a 07 level indicationThese KPIs are included in the environmental aspect 22 KPIs social aspect 28 KPIs economic aspect27 KPIs and port organizational management aspect 14 KPIs
KPI group 1 and group 2 are the critical KPI to explain the high importance of port sustainabilityThese critical KPIs must be applied to sustainable port management Whereas the preferable KPI arefound in KPI group 3 and group 4 which are supported to port sustainability Besides three types ofport are tested for the different group using one-way ANOVA with the important levels of thesustainable port KPI groups As a result KPI group 1 and group 2 are presented as having significantnon-differences but KPI group 3 and group 4 are indicated as being significantly different between thethree types of ports Figure 3 introduces the sustainable port KPIs that contemporary port should applythese KPIs for improving their sustainable ports performance
Therefore port management should be considered with these sustainable port KPIs and sustainableport KPI groups to the first policy and practice for developing sustainability reports towards highperformance and creating a good image of environmentally and socially of sustainable ports Futureresearch can consider these findings in comparison to other stakeholders and in other areas or countries

number it may create more error instead of having a better statistical meaning Since the directmanagers who involved with sustainability are very few in each port
The instruments are a questionnaire survey which is filled with face to face interview to indicatethe level of importance of the sustainable port KPIs with a 10-level scale (Amrina amp Vilsi 2015) Theimportance of sustainable port KPIs ranged from strongly disagree (1-low) to strongly agree (10-high)in regards to sustainable port The questionnaire has two sections Section one the demographicinformation relates company and personal information about the company name portterminaloperator ISO certificate PSHE-MS member type of port position responsibility and educationSection two contains two subsections the question of sustainable port KPIs the important levels(from 1 to 10) and other indicators of the respondentrsquos opinion
The questionnaires regarding 156 KPIs are distributed to the total population 63 managers in 21terminals The completed questionnaires are accounted for 57 managers that are 9048 of therespondents Operational manager with 7719 middle manager with 1228 and top manager with1053 Of this total 5614 responded to sustainable development and 3509 responded to portmanagement and 877 are others responsibility More than a half of managers 5263 in Masterdegree Bachelorrsquos degree in 4737 and there is no one graduate in a Doctoral degree Moreover Typeof ports in data collection displayed with 5789 in container port 2105 in non-container port and2105 in multi-purpose port
4 Findings and discussionsThe findings of this study are divided into three parts Firstly the results of the exploration factoranalysis of port sustainable KPI groups and factor loading of sustainable port KPIs Secondary theanalysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing means of the important levels of KPI among three typesof ports Finally discussion of the analysis result
41 Results of exploration factor analysis for sustainable port KPI groupsThe analysis of Pearsonrsquos correlation measures the correlation coefficient by studying the relation-ship between variables The correlation test is significant at the 005 level (2-tailed) It seems to beconcluded that most of the KPI variables are correlated to each other This confirms that factoranalysis can be used with this data (Iddris 2016 Vanichbuncha 2010) The KPIs are analyzed toclassify KPI groups Table 1 displays the results of variance and cumulative percentage each KPIgroups To achieve an acceptable fit it found that there are four KPI groups group 1 and group 2show the high percentages of variance which are 26519 and 24290 respectively Then group3 and group 4 show a variance of 19337 and 19008 respectively
The cumulative percentage is explained by the variance that applies to select an optimal numberof KPI group In this study we choose four KPI groups as the cumulative variance of 89153 thatpresent a high percentage to confirm the number of KPI group
Table 2 presents the factor analysis with principal component method extraction The varimaxrotation is adapted to steps for evaluating the terms of error of indicators that composes the factorsThe results show factor loadings being more than 07 levels indicating that the KPI is highly importantto be represented to the corresponding KPI groups The sustainable port KPIs are of total 91 KPIs from

156 KPIs KPI group 1 determines the highest numbers of sustainable port KPIs with economic portmanner KPI group 2 concludes as having the most sustainable port KPIs with environmental portmanagement KPI group 3 identifies the highest numbers of sustainable port KPIs with impartial portmanagement KPI group 4 indicates most of sustainable port KPIs with social port management
42 The analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing means of the important level of KPI amongthree types of portsThis part analyzes the differences in the importance level among four KPI groups from the threetypes of ports container ports non-container port and multi-purpose port
Table 3 presents the results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing the important levelswithin the four KPI groups following the three types of ports This table shows the Scheffetesting for alpha 05 of all KPI groups This analysis further found that KPI group 1 and group 2has non-significant differences among the three types of ports KPI groups 1 and 2 arepresented as having a high level of important indicators which show higher than 08 importantlevels KPI group 1 shows the non-container ports (988) multi-purpose ports (869) andcontainer ports (846) KPI group 2 displays the mean levels of importance indicators by non-container ports (982) multi-purpose ports (915) and container ports (817) Thus in the threetypes of ports the important indicators need to operate to port sustainability has nodifferentiation
KPIgroup3andgroup4 indicatea significantdifference in the three typesofports KPI group3 fornon-container ports is shown to have the lowest level of indicators of importance (512) after that is themulti-purpose port (754) and container port (883) KPI group 4 for container ports is given to the lowestlevel of importance indicators (719) while the mean level of importance indicators for multi-purposeports (920) and non-container ports (953) are shown to have the highest level of importance indicatorsTherefore container ports offer an important level of KPI group 3 more than non-container ports alsomulti-purpose ports provide an important level of KPI group of three more than a non-container portHowever container ports andmulti-purpose port are given the important level of KPI group 3 with non-differentiation
43 DiscussionsSustainable port is the greatest challenge in the world of ports (Mora Orejas Subirats Ibanez ampAlvarez 2005 Mori amp Best 2017) Ports in Asia have been implementing various green and sustainableactivities seeking to reduce the environmental and social impacts of shipping and port activities (Rohet al 2016 Hou amp Geerlings 2016) In this paper it is found that KPI groups are divided into twomaingroups including the critical KPI groups and the preferable KPI group KPI group 1 and group 2 are thecritical KPI in which the sustainable port must be operated to port management Additionally KPIgroup 3 and group 4 are the preferable KPI groups that port operation need to apply sustainable portsfollowed by types of ports

Sustainable port KPIs total 91 KPIs are comprised of the environmental aspect 22 KPIs (2418)social aspect 28 KPIs (3077) economic aspect 27 KPIs (2967) and port organizational manage-ment aspect 14 KPIs (1538) as shown in Figure 3 This paper introduces that modern port shouldapply these sustainable port KPIs in order to improve their sustainable ports performance
The critical KPIs are shown in the highest explanation of sustainable ports in the 30 KPIs of KPIgroup 1 and 23 KPIs of KPI group 2 There are a total of 53 KPIs that must be considered foroperational planning in ports to achieve port practice towards port sustainability The KPIs group 1presents the economic port manner referring to the port management that is achieved byintegrating key cost efficiency and cooperate social responsibility in ports Port operation canachieve KPIs in group 1 with KPIs of G11ndash130 The applied practices of sustainable port planningcan be considered for the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G11ndash12 explain themanagement of environmental costs and G13ndash113 indicates the cost of cooperate social respon-sibility G14ndash130 specifies the economic management which offers the financial and consumptionin port Port operation can achieve KPIs in group 2 with KPIs of G21ndash223 The applied operationsof sustainable port performance are to consider the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG21ndash213 and G18-23 explain the environmental management in ports and G214ndash117 point tothe environmental efficiency cost and social responsibility However these critical KPIs are pre-sented with non-difference in the level of importance indicators to practice of the three types ofports These ports will be applicable for operation to develop sustainable KPIs for producing thepractical plan and key measurement in port operation
The preferable KPIs are revealed in the exceptional sustainable port KPIs of sustainable portsin the 19 KPIs of KPI group 3 and 19 KPIs of KPI group 4 There are a total of 38 KPIs needed toreflect on operational planning in ports for achieving better performance in port sustainabilityIn the KPIs group 3 presents about the impartial port management referring to the portmanagement that is achieved the superimposed economic and social efficiency in port Portoperation can be achieved with KPIs in group 3 with KPIs of G 31ndash319 The port managementof sustainable planning is to be considered to factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG31ndash33 explain the management of the equitable environment and KPIs of G34ndash119 shownfor operating the social-economic management of a port In the KPIs group 4 it indicated thatthe social port management referring to the port management Port practice can achieve KPIsin group 4 with KPIs of G 41ndash419 The planning of sustainable port operation is to beconsidered with the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G41ndash44 explain theenvironmental management to the community surrounding the port and KPIs of G45ndash411identify the social sustainability in port KPIs of G412ndash419 identify the organization and

community management to port The preferable KPIs recommend as an important indicatorlevel of difference implementation followed by three types of ports that are found in KPIsgroup 3 and group 4 are significant different testings
In addition the performance measurement of KPIs group 3 in container ports and multi-purposeports need to be given a high importance level of practice planningmore than non-container ports Theperformance measurement of KPIs group 4 in non-container ports and multi-purpose ports need tooffer a high important level of operational management more than container ports In light of theresults obtained container ports andmulti-purpose ports require operational integrating financial andsocial efficiency of KPI group 3 to performance measurement in port Furthermore the practice of KPIgroup 3 in non-container port demands the least importance to manage the performance measure-ment in ports For the need of KPI group 4 container ports require operational indication by the leastimportant social and organizational management less than non-container ports and multi-purposeports these two types of ports affect the more natural environment and social surroundings Allinformation support is to direct the development of a sustainable port which explains the sustainableperformance measurement and port management
5 ConclusionsPort operation focuses on improving port sustainability in order to add value to the high profile ofinternational ports and reduce environmental and social impacts Together with this port operationsupports maritime transport and the overall economic system However in performing the portoperation environmental and social problems have been found and are lacking the sustainableport KPIs This paper finds four sustainable port KPI groups using exploratory factor analysis Thefindings also identify that the sustainable port KPIs are formed into groups The four KPI groups areshown with 91 sustainable port KPIs display factor loadings being higher than a 07 level indicationThese KPIs are included in the environmental aspect 22 KPIs social aspect 28 KPIs economic aspect27 KPIs and port organizational management aspect 14 KPIs
KPI group 1 and group 2 are the critical KPI to explain the high importance of port sustainabilityThese critical KPIs must be applied to sustainable port management Whereas the preferable KPI arefound in KPI group 3 and group 4 which are supported to port sustainability Besides three types ofport are tested for the different group using one-way ANOVA with the important levels of thesustainable port KPI groups As a result KPI group 1 and group 2 are presented as having significantnon-differences but KPI group 3 and group 4 are indicated as being significantly different between thethree types of ports Figure 3 introduces the sustainable port KPIs that contemporary port should applythese KPIs for improving their sustainable ports performance
Therefore port management should be considered with these sustainable port KPIs and sustainableport KPI groups to the first policy and practice for developing sustainability reports towards highperformance and creating a good image of environmentally and socially of sustainable ports Futureresearch can consider these findings in comparison to other stakeholders and in other areas or countries

156 KPIs KPI group 1 determines the highest numbers of sustainable port KPIs with economic portmanner KPI group 2 concludes as having the most sustainable port KPIs with environmental portmanagement KPI group 3 identifies the highest numbers of sustainable port KPIs with impartial portmanagement KPI group 4 indicates most of sustainable port KPIs with social port management
42 The analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing means of the important level of KPI amongthree types of portsThis part analyzes the differences in the importance level among four KPI groups from the threetypes of ports container ports non-container port and multi-purpose port
Table 3 presents the results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing the important levelswithin the four KPI groups following the three types of ports This table shows the Scheffetesting for alpha 05 of all KPI groups This analysis further found that KPI group 1 and group 2has non-significant differences among the three types of ports KPI groups 1 and 2 arepresented as having a high level of important indicators which show higher than 08 importantlevels KPI group 1 shows the non-container ports (988) multi-purpose ports (869) andcontainer ports (846) KPI group 2 displays the mean levels of importance indicators by non-container ports (982) multi-purpose ports (915) and container ports (817) Thus in the threetypes of ports the important indicators need to operate to port sustainability has nodifferentiation
KPIgroup3andgroup4 indicatea significantdifference in the three typesofports KPI group3 fornon-container ports is shown to have the lowest level of indicators of importance (512) after that is themulti-purpose port (754) and container port (883) KPI group 4 for container ports is given to the lowestlevel of importance indicators (719) while the mean level of importance indicators for multi-purposeports (920) and non-container ports (953) are shown to have the highest level of importance indicatorsTherefore container ports offer an important level of KPI group 3 more than non-container ports alsomulti-purpose ports provide an important level of KPI group of three more than a non-container portHowever container ports andmulti-purpose port are given the important level of KPI group 3 with non-differentiation
43 DiscussionsSustainable port is the greatest challenge in the world of ports (Mora Orejas Subirats Ibanez ampAlvarez 2005 Mori amp Best 2017) Ports in Asia have been implementing various green and sustainableactivities seeking to reduce the environmental and social impacts of shipping and port activities (Rohet al 2016 Hou amp Geerlings 2016) In this paper it is found that KPI groups are divided into twomaingroups including the critical KPI groups and the preferable KPI group KPI group 1 and group 2 are thecritical KPI in which the sustainable port must be operated to port management Additionally KPIgroup 3 and group 4 are the preferable KPI groups that port operation need to apply sustainable portsfollowed by types of ports

Sustainable port KPIs total 91 KPIs are comprised of the environmental aspect 22 KPIs (2418)social aspect 28 KPIs (3077) economic aspect 27 KPIs (2967) and port organizational manage-ment aspect 14 KPIs (1538) as shown in Figure 3 This paper introduces that modern port shouldapply these sustainable port KPIs in order to improve their sustainable ports performance
The critical KPIs are shown in the highest explanation of sustainable ports in the 30 KPIs of KPIgroup 1 and 23 KPIs of KPI group 2 There are a total of 53 KPIs that must be considered foroperational planning in ports to achieve port practice towards port sustainability The KPIs group 1presents the economic port manner referring to the port management that is achieved byintegrating key cost efficiency and cooperate social responsibility in ports Port operation canachieve KPIs in group 1 with KPIs of G11ndash130 The applied practices of sustainable port planningcan be considered for the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G11ndash12 explain themanagement of environmental costs and G13ndash113 indicates the cost of cooperate social respon-sibility G14ndash130 specifies the economic management which offers the financial and consumptionin port Port operation can achieve KPIs in group 2 with KPIs of G21ndash223 The applied operationsof sustainable port performance are to consider the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG21ndash213 and G18-23 explain the environmental management in ports and G214ndash117 point tothe environmental efficiency cost and social responsibility However these critical KPIs are pre-sented with non-difference in the level of importance indicators to practice of the three types ofports These ports will be applicable for operation to develop sustainable KPIs for producing thepractical plan and key measurement in port operation
The preferable KPIs are revealed in the exceptional sustainable port KPIs of sustainable portsin the 19 KPIs of KPI group 3 and 19 KPIs of KPI group 4 There are a total of 38 KPIs needed toreflect on operational planning in ports for achieving better performance in port sustainabilityIn the KPIs group 3 presents about the impartial port management referring to the portmanagement that is achieved the superimposed economic and social efficiency in port Portoperation can be achieved with KPIs in group 3 with KPIs of G 31ndash319 The port managementof sustainable planning is to be considered to factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG31ndash33 explain the management of the equitable environment and KPIs of G34ndash119 shownfor operating the social-economic management of a port In the KPIs group 4 it indicated thatthe social port management referring to the port management Port practice can achieve KPIsin group 4 with KPIs of G 41ndash419 The planning of sustainable port operation is to beconsidered with the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G41ndash44 explain theenvironmental management to the community surrounding the port and KPIs of G45ndash411identify the social sustainability in port KPIs of G412ndash419 identify the organization and

community management to port The preferable KPIs recommend as an important indicatorlevel of difference implementation followed by three types of ports that are found in KPIsgroup 3 and group 4 are significant different testings
In addition the performance measurement of KPIs group 3 in container ports and multi-purposeports need to be given a high importance level of practice planningmore than non-container ports Theperformance measurement of KPIs group 4 in non-container ports and multi-purpose ports need tooffer a high important level of operational management more than container ports In light of theresults obtained container ports andmulti-purpose ports require operational integrating financial andsocial efficiency of KPI group 3 to performance measurement in port Furthermore the practice of KPIgroup 3 in non-container port demands the least importance to manage the performance measure-ment in ports For the need of KPI group 4 container ports require operational indication by the leastimportant social and organizational management less than non-container ports and multi-purposeports these two types of ports affect the more natural environment and social surroundings Allinformation support is to direct the development of a sustainable port which explains the sustainableperformance measurement and port management
5 ConclusionsPort operation focuses on improving port sustainability in order to add value to the high profile ofinternational ports and reduce environmental and social impacts Together with this port operationsupports maritime transport and the overall economic system However in performing the portoperation environmental and social problems have been found and are lacking the sustainableport KPIs This paper finds four sustainable port KPI groups using exploratory factor analysis Thefindings also identify that the sustainable port KPIs are formed into groups The four KPI groups areshown with 91 sustainable port KPIs display factor loadings being higher than a 07 level indicationThese KPIs are included in the environmental aspect 22 KPIs social aspect 28 KPIs economic aspect27 KPIs and port organizational management aspect 14 KPIs
KPI group 1 and group 2 are the critical KPI to explain the high importance of port sustainabilityThese critical KPIs must be applied to sustainable port management Whereas the preferable KPI arefound in KPI group 3 and group 4 which are supported to port sustainability Besides three types ofport are tested for the different group using one-way ANOVA with the important levels of thesustainable port KPI groups As a result KPI group 1 and group 2 are presented as having significantnon-differences but KPI group 3 and group 4 are indicated as being significantly different between thethree types of ports Figure 3 introduces the sustainable port KPIs that contemporary port should applythese KPIs for improving their sustainable ports performance
Therefore port management should be considered with these sustainable port KPIs and sustainableport KPI groups to the first policy and practice for developing sustainability reports towards highperformance and creating a good image of environmentally and socially of sustainable ports Futureresearch can consider these findings in comparison to other stakeholders and in other areas or countries

156 KPIs KPI group 1 determines the highest numbers of sustainable port KPIs with economic portmanner KPI group 2 concludes as having the most sustainable port KPIs with environmental portmanagement KPI group 3 identifies the highest numbers of sustainable port KPIs with impartial portmanagement KPI group 4 indicates most of sustainable port KPIs with social port management
42 The analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing means of the important level of KPI amongthree types of portsThis part analyzes the differences in the importance level among four KPI groups from the threetypes of ports container ports non-container port and multi-purpose port
Table 3 presents the results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing the important levelswithin the four KPI groups following the three types of ports This table shows the Scheffetesting for alpha 05 of all KPI groups This analysis further found that KPI group 1 and group 2has non-significant differences among the three types of ports KPI groups 1 and 2 arepresented as having a high level of important indicators which show higher than 08 importantlevels KPI group 1 shows the non-container ports (988) multi-purpose ports (869) andcontainer ports (846) KPI group 2 displays the mean levels of importance indicators by non-container ports (982) multi-purpose ports (915) and container ports (817) Thus in the threetypes of ports the important indicators need to operate to port sustainability has nodifferentiation
KPIgroup3andgroup4 indicatea significantdifference in the three typesofports KPI group3 fornon-container ports is shown to have the lowest level of indicators of importance (512) after that is themulti-purpose port (754) and container port (883) KPI group 4 for container ports is given to the lowestlevel of importance indicators (719) while the mean level of importance indicators for multi-purposeports (920) and non-container ports (953) are shown to have the highest level of importance indicatorsTherefore container ports offer an important level of KPI group 3 more than non-container ports alsomulti-purpose ports provide an important level of KPI group of three more than a non-container portHowever container ports andmulti-purpose port are given the important level of KPI group 3 with non-differentiation
43 DiscussionsSustainable port is the greatest challenge in the world of ports (Mora Orejas Subirats Ibanez ampAlvarez 2005 Mori amp Best 2017) Ports in Asia have been implementing various green and sustainableactivities seeking to reduce the environmental and social impacts of shipping and port activities (Rohet al 2016 Hou amp Geerlings 2016) In this paper it is found that KPI groups are divided into twomaingroups including the critical KPI groups and the preferable KPI group KPI group 1 and group 2 are thecritical KPI in which the sustainable port must be operated to port management Additionally KPIgroup 3 and group 4 are the preferable KPI groups that port operation need to apply sustainable portsfollowed by types of ports

Sustainable port KPIs total 91 KPIs are comprised of the environmental aspect 22 KPIs (2418)social aspect 28 KPIs (3077) economic aspect 27 KPIs (2967) and port organizational manage-ment aspect 14 KPIs (1538) as shown in Figure 3 This paper introduces that modern port shouldapply these sustainable port KPIs in order to improve their sustainable ports performance
The critical KPIs are shown in the highest explanation of sustainable ports in the 30 KPIs of KPIgroup 1 and 23 KPIs of KPI group 2 There are a total of 53 KPIs that must be considered foroperational planning in ports to achieve port practice towards port sustainability The KPIs group 1presents the economic port manner referring to the port management that is achieved byintegrating key cost efficiency and cooperate social responsibility in ports Port operation canachieve KPIs in group 1 with KPIs of G11ndash130 The applied practices of sustainable port planningcan be considered for the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G11ndash12 explain themanagement of environmental costs and G13ndash113 indicates the cost of cooperate social respon-sibility G14ndash130 specifies the economic management which offers the financial and consumptionin port Port operation can achieve KPIs in group 2 with KPIs of G21ndash223 The applied operationsof sustainable port performance are to consider the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG21ndash213 and G18-23 explain the environmental management in ports and G214ndash117 point tothe environmental efficiency cost and social responsibility However these critical KPIs are pre-sented with non-difference in the level of importance indicators to practice of the three types ofports These ports will be applicable for operation to develop sustainable KPIs for producing thepractical plan and key measurement in port operation
The preferable KPIs are revealed in the exceptional sustainable port KPIs of sustainable portsin the 19 KPIs of KPI group 3 and 19 KPIs of KPI group 4 There are a total of 38 KPIs needed toreflect on operational planning in ports for achieving better performance in port sustainabilityIn the KPIs group 3 presents about the impartial port management referring to the portmanagement that is achieved the superimposed economic and social efficiency in port Portoperation can be achieved with KPIs in group 3 with KPIs of G 31ndash319 The port managementof sustainable planning is to be considered to factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG31ndash33 explain the management of the equitable environment and KPIs of G34ndash119 shownfor operating the social-economic management of a port In the KPIs group 4 it indicated thatthe social port management referring to the port management Port practice can achieve KPIsin group 4 with KPIs of G 41ndash419 The planning of sustainable port operation is to beconsidered with the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G41ndash44 explain theenvironmental management to the community surrounding the port and KPIs of G45ndash411identify the social sustainability in port KPIs of G412ndash419 identify the organization and

community management to port The preferable KPIs recommend as an important indicatorlevel of difference implementation followed by three types of ports that are found in KPIsgroup 3 and group 4 are significant different testings
In addition the performance measurement of KPIs group 3 in container ports and multi-purposeports need to be given a high importance level of practice planningmore than non-container ports Theperformance measurement of KPIs group 4 in non-container ports and multi-purpose ports need tooffer a high important level of operational management more than container ports In light of theresults obtained container ports andmulti-purpose ports require operational integrating financial andsocial efficiency of KPI group 3 to performance measurement in port Furthermore the practice of KPIgroup 3 in non-container port demands the least importance to manage the performance measure-ment in ports For the need of KPI group 4 container ports require operational indication by the leastimportant social and organizational management less than non-container ports and multi-purposeports these two types of ports affect the more natural environment and social surroundings Allinformation support is to direct the development of a sustainable port which explains the sustainableperformance measurement and port management
5 ConclusionsPort operation focuses on improving port sustainability in order to add value to the high profile ofinternational ports and reduce environmental and social impacts Together with this port operationsupports maritime transport and the overall economic system However in performing the portoperation environmental and social problems have been found and are lacking the sustainableport KPIs This paper finds four sustainable port KPI groups using exploratory factor analysis Thefindings also identify that the sustainable port KPIs are formed into groups The four KPI groups areshown with 91 sustainable port KPIs display factor loadings being higher than a 07 level indicationThese KPIs are included in the environmental aspect 22 KPIs social aspect 28 KPIs economic aspect27 KPIs and port organizational management aspect 14 KPIs
KPI group 1 and group 2 are the critical KPI to explain the high importance of port sustainabilityThese critical KPIs must be applied to sustainable port management Whereas the preferable KPI arefound in KPI group 3 and group 4 which are supported to port sustainability Besides three types ofport are tested for the different group using one-way ANOVA with the important levels of thesustainable port KPI groups As a result KPI group 1 and group 2 are presented as having significantnon-differences but KPI group 3 and group 4 are indicated as being significantly different between thethree types of ports Figure 3 introduces the sustainable port KPIs that contemporary port should applythese KPIs for improving their sustainable ports performance
Therefore port management should be considered with these sustainable port KPIs and sustainableport KPI groups to the first policy and practice for developing sustainability reports towards highperformance and creating a good image of environmentally and socially of sustainable ports Futureresearch can consider these findings in comparison to other stakeholders and in other areas or countries

156 KPIs KPI group 1 determines the highest numbers of sustainable port KPIs with economic portmanner KPI group 2 concludes as having the most sustainable port KPIs with environmental portmanagement KPI group 3 identifies the highest numbers of sustainable port KPIs with impartial portmanagement KPI group 4 indicates most of sustainable port KPIs with social port management
42 The analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing means of the important level of KPI amongthree types of portsThis part analyzes the differences in the importance level among four KPI groups from the threetypes of ports container ports non-container port and multi-purpose port
Table 3 presents the results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing the important levelswithin the four KPI groups following the three types of ports This table shows the Scheffetesting for alpha 05 of all KPI groups This analysis further found that KPI group 1 and group 2has non-significant differences among the three types of ports KPI groups 1 and 2 arepresented as having a high level of important indicators which show higher than 08 importantlevels KPI group 1 shows the non-container ports (988) multi-purpose ports (869) andcontainer ports (846) KPI group 2 displays the mean levels of importance indicators by non-container ports (982) multi-purpose ports (915) and container ports (817) Thus in the threetypes of ports the important indicators need to operate to port sustainability has nodifferentiation
KPIgroup3andgroup4 indicatea significantdifference in the three typesofports KPI group3 fornon-container ports is shown to have the lowest level of indicators of importance (512) after that is themulti-purpose port (754) and container port (883) KPI group 4 for container ports is given to the lowestlevel of importance indicators (719) while the mean level of importance indicators for multi-purposeports (920) and non-container ports (953) are shown to have the highest level of importance indicatorsTherefore container ports offer an important level of KPI group 3 more than non-container ports alsomulti-purpose ports provide an important level of KPI group of three more than a non-container portHowever container ports andmulti-purpose port are given the important level of KPI group 3 with non-differentiation
43 DiscussionsSustainable port is the greatest challenge in the world of ports (Mora Orejas Subirats Ibanez ampAlvarez 2005 Mori amp Best 2017) Ports in Asia have been implementing various green and sustainableactivities seeking to reduce the environmental and social impacts of shipping and port activities (Rohet al 2016 Hou amp Geerlings 2016) In this paper it is found that KPI groups are divided into twomaingroups including the critical KPI groups and the preferable KPI group KPI group 1 and group 2 are thecritical KPI in which the sustainable port must be operated to port management Additionally KPIgroup 3 and group 4 are the preferable KPI groups that port operation need to apply sustainable portsfollowed by types of ports

Sustainable port KPIs total 91 KPIs are comprised of the environmental aspect 22 KPIs (2418)social aspect 28 KPIs (3077) economic aspect 27 KPIs (2967) and port organizational manage-ment aspect 14 KPIs (1538) as shown in Figure 3 This paper introduces that modern port shouldapply these sustainable port KPIs in order to improve their sustainable ports performance
The critical KPIs are shown in the highest explanation of sustainable ports in the 30 KPIs of KPIgroup 1 and 23 KPIs of KPI group 2 There are a total of 53 KPIs that must be considered foroperational planning in ports to achieve port practice towards port sustainability The KPIs group 1presents the economic port manner referring to the port management that is achieved byintegrating key cost efficiency and cooperate social responsibility in ports Port operation canachieve KPIs in group 1 with KPIs of G11ndash130 The applied practices of sustainable port planningcan be considered for the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G11ndash12 explain themanagement of environmental costs and G13ndash113 indicates the cost of cooperate social respon-sibility G14ndash130 specifies the economic management which offers the financial and consumptionin port Port operation can achieve KPIs in group 2 with KPIs of G21ndash223 The applied operationsof sustainable port performance are to consider the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG21ndash213 and G18-23 explain the environmental management in ports and G214ndash117 point tothe environmental efficiency cost and social responsibility However these critical KPIs are pre-sented with non-difference in the level of importance indicators to practice of the three types ofports These ports will be applicable for operation to develop sustainable KPIs for producing thepractical plan and key measurement in port operation
The preferable KPIs are revealed in the exceptional sustainable port KPIs of sustainable portsin the 19 KPIs of KPI group 3 and 19 KPIs of KPI group 4 There are a total of 38 KPIs needed toreflect on operational planning in ports for achieving better performance in port sustainabilityIn the KPIs group 3 presents about the impartial port management referring to the portmanagement that is achieved the superimposed economic and social efficiency in port Portoperation can be achieved with KPIs in group 3 with KPIs of G 31ndash319 The port managementof sustainable planning is to be considered to factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG31ndash33 explain the management of the equitable environment and KPIs of G34ndash119 shownfor operating the social-economic management of a port In the KPIs group 4 it indicated thatthe social port management referring to the port management Port practice can achieve KPIsin group 4 with KPIs of G 41ndash419 The planning of sustainable port operation is to beconsidered with the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G41ndash44 explain theenvironmental management to the community surrounding the port and KPIs of G45ndash411identify the social sustainability in port KPIs of G412ndash419 identify the organization and

community management to port The preferable KPIs recommend as an important indicatorlevel of difference implementation followed by three types of ports that are found in KPIsgroup 3 and group 4 are significant different testings
In addition the performance measurement of KPIs group 3 in container ports and multi-purposeports need to be given a high importance level of practice planningmore than non-container ports Theperformance measurement of KPIs group 4 in non-container ports and multi-purpose ports need tooffer a high important level of operational management more than container ports In light of theresults obtained container ports andmulti-purpose ports require operational integrating financial andsocial efficiency of KPI group 3 to performance measurement in port Furthermore the practice of KPIgroup 3 in non-container port demands the least importance to manage the performance measure-ment in ports For the need of KPI group 4 container ports require operational indication by the leastimportant social and organizational management less than non-container ports and multi-purposeports these two types of ports affect the more natural environment and social surroundings Allinformation support is to direct the development of a sustainable port which explains the sustainableperformance measurement and port management
5 ConclusionsPort operation focuses on improving port sustainability in order to add value to the high profile ofinternational ports and reduce environmental and social impacts Together with this port operationsupports maritime transport and the overall economic system However in performing the portoperation environmental and social problems have been found and are lacking the sustainableport KPIs This paper finds four sustainable port KPI groups using exploratory factor analysis Thefindings also identify that the sustainable port KPIs are formed into groups The four KPI groups areshown with 91 sustainable port KPIs display factor loadings being higher than a 07 level indicationThese KPIs are included in the environmental aspect 22 KPIs social aspect 28 KPIs economic aspect27 KPIs and port organizational management aspect 14 KPIs
KPI group 1 and group 2 are the critical KPI to explain the high importance of port sustainabilityThese critical KPIs must be applied to sustainable port management Whereas the preferable KPI arefound in KPI group 3 and group 4 which are supported to port sustainability Besides three types ofport are tested for the different group using one-way ANOVA with the important levels of thesustainable port KPI groups As a result KPI group 1 and group 2 are presented as having significantnon-differences but KPI group 3 and group 4 are indicated as being significantly different between thethree types of ports Figure 3 introduces the sustainable port KPIs that contemporary port should applythese KPIs for improving their sustainable ports performance
Therefore port management should be considered with these sustainable port KPIs and sustainableport KPI groups to the first policy and practice for developing sustainability reports towards highperformance and creating a good image of environmentally and socially of sustainable ports Futureresearch can consider these findings in comparison to other stakeholders and in other areas or countries

156 KPIs KPI group 1 determines the highest numbers of sustainable port KPIs with economic portmanner KPI group 2 concludes as having the most sustainable port KPIs with environmental portmanagement KPI group 3 identifies the highest numbers of sustainable port KPIs with impartial portmanagement KPI group 4 indicates most of sustainable port KPIs with social port management
42 The analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing means of the important level of KPI amongthree types of portsThis part analyzes the differences in the importance level among four KPI groups from the threetypes of ports container ports non-container port and multi-purpose port
Table 3 presents the results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing the important levelswithin the four KPI groups following the three types of ports This table shows the Scheffetesting for alpha 05 of all KPI groups This analysis further found that KPI group 1 and group 2has non-significant differences among the three types of ports KPI groups 1 and 2 arepresented as having a high level of important indicators which show higher than 08 importantlevels KPI group 1 shows the non-container ports (988) multi-purpose ports (869) andcontainer ports (846) KPI group 2 displays the mean levels of importance indicators by non-container ports (982) multi-purpose ports (915) and container ports (817) Thus in the threetypes of ports the important indicators need to operate to port sustainability has nodifferentiation
KPIgroup3andgroup4 indicatea significantdifference in the three typesofports KPI group3 fornon-container ports is shown to have the lowest level of indicators of importance (512) after that is themulti-purpose port (754) and container port (883) KPI group 4 for container ports is given to the lowestlevel of importance indicators (719) while the mean level of importance indicators for multi-purposeports (920) and non-container ports (953) are shown to have the highest level of importance indicatorsTherefore container ports offer an important level of KPI group 3 more than non-container ports alsomulti-purpose ports provide an important level of KPI group of three more than a non-container portHowever container ports andmulti-purpose port are given the important level of KPI group 3 with non-differentiation
43 DiscussionsSustainable port is the greatest challenge in the world of ports (Mora Orejas Subirats Ibanez ampAlvarez 2005 Mori amp Best 2017) Ports in Asia have been implementing various green and sustainableactivities seeking to reduce the environmental and social impacts of shipping and port activities (Rohet al 2016 Hou amp Geerlings 2016) In this paper it is found that KPI groups are divided into twomaingroups including the critical KPI groups and the preferable KPI group KPI group 1 and group 2 are thecritical KPI in which the sustainable port must be operated to port management Additionally KPIgroup 3 and group 4 are the preferable KPI groups that port operation need to apply sustainable portsfollowed by types of ports

Sustainable port KPIs total 91 KPIs are comprised of the environmental aspect 22 KPIs (2418)social aspect 28 KPIs (3077) economic aspect 27 KPIs (2967) and port organizational manage-ment aspect 14 KPIs (1538) as shown in Figure 3 This paper introduces that modern port shouldapply these sustainable port KPIs in order to improve their sustainable ports performance
The critical KPIs are shown in the highest explanation of sustainable ports in the 30 KPIs of KPIgroup 1 and 23 KPIs of KPI group 2 There are a total of 53 KPIs that must be considered foroperational planning in ports to achieve port practice towards port sustainability The KPIs group 1presents the economic port manner referring to the port management that is achieved byintegrating key cost efficiency and cooperate social responsibility in ports Port operation canachieve KPIs in group 1 with KPIs of G11ndash130 The applied practices of sustainable port planningcan be considered for the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G11ndash12 explain themanagement of environmental costs and G13ndash113 indicates the cost of cooperate social respon-sibility G14ndash130 specifies the economic management which offers the financial and consumptionin port Port operation can achieve KPIs in group 2 with KPIs of G21ndash223 The applied operationsof sustainable port performance are to consider the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG21ndash213 and G18-23 explain the environmental management in ports and G214ndash117 point tothe environmental efficiency cost and social responsibility However these critical KPIs are pre-sented with non-difference in the level of importance indicators to practice of the three types ofports These ports will be applicable for operation to develop sustainable KPIs for producing thepractical plan and key measurement in port operation
The preferable KPIs are revealed in the exceptional sustainable port KPIs of sustainable portsin the 19 KPIs of KPI group 3 and 19 KPIs of KPI group 4 There are a total of 38 KPIs needed toreflect on operational planning in ports for achieving better performance in port sustainabilityIn the KPIs group 3 presents about the impartial port management referring to the portmanagement that is achieved the superimposed economic and social efficiency in port Portoperation can be achieved with KPIs in group 3 with KPIs of G 31ndash319 The port managementof sustainable planning is to be considered to factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG31ndash33 explain the management of the equitable environment and KPIs of G34ndash119 shownfor operating the social-economic management of a port In the KPIs group 4 it indicated thatthe social port management referring to the port management Port practice can achieve KPIsin group 4 with KPIs of G 41ndash419 The planning of sustainable port operation is to beconsidered with the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G41ndash44 explain theenvironmental management to the community surrounding the port and KPIs of G45ndash411identify the social sustainability in port KPIs of G412ndash419 identify the organization and

community management to port The preferable KPIs recommend as an important indicatorlevel of difference implementation followed by three types of ports that are found in KPIsgroup 3 and group 4 are significant different testings
In addition the performance measurement of KPIs group 3 in container ports and multi-purposeports need to be given a high importance level of practice planningmore than non-container ports Theperformance measurement of KPIs group 4 in non-container ports and multi-purpose ports need tooffer a high important level of operational management more than container ports In light of theresults obtained container ports andmulti-purpose ports require operational integrating financial andsocial efficiency of KPI group 3 to performance measurement in port Furthermore the practice of KPIgroup 3 in non-container port demands the least importance to manage the performance measure-ment in ports For the need of KPI group 4 container ports require operational indication by the leastimportant social and organizational management less than non-container ports and multi-purposeports these two types of ports affect the more natural environment and social surroundings Allinformation support is to direct the development of a sustainable port which explains the sustainableperformance measurement and port management
5 ConclusionsPort operation focuses on improving port sustainability in order to add value to the high profile ofinternational ports and reduce environmental and social impacts Together with this port operationsupports maritime transport and the overall economic system However in performing the portoperation environmental and social problems have been found and are lacking the sustainableport KPIs This paper finds four sustainable port KPI groups using exploratory factor analysis Thefindings also identify that the sustainable port KPIs are formed into groups The four KPI groups areshown with 91 sustainable port KPIs display factor loadings being higher than a 07 level indicationThese KPIs are included in the environmental aspect 22 KPIs social aspect 28 KPIs economic aspect27 KPIs and port organizational management aspect 14 KPIs
KPI group 1 and group 2 are the critical KPI to explain the high importance of port sustainabilityThese critical KPIs must be applied to sustainable port management Whereas the preferable KPI arefound in KPI group 3 and group 4 which are supported to port sustainability Besides three types ofport are tested for the different group using one-way ANOVA with the important levels of thesustainable port KPI groups As a result KPI group 1 and group 2 are presented as having significantnon-differences but KPI group 3 and group 4 are indicated as being significantly different between thethree types of ports Figure 3 introduces the sustainable port KPIs that contemporary port should applythese KPIs for improving their sustainable ports performance
Therefore port management should be considered with these sustainable port KPIs and sustainableport KPI groups to the first policy and practice for developing sustainability reports towards highperformance and creating a good image of environmentally and socially of sustainable ports Futureresearch can consider these findings in comparison to other stakeholders and in other areas or countries

156 KPIs KPI group 1 determines the highest numbers of sustainable port KPIs with economic portmanner KPI group 2 concludes as having the most sustainable port KPIs with environmental portmanagement KPI group 3 identifies the highest numbers of sustainable port KPIs with impartial portmanagement KPI group 4 indicates most of sustainable port KPIs with social port management
42 The analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing means of the important level of KPI amongthree types of portsThis part analyzes the differences in the importance level among four KPI groups from the threetypes of ports container ports non-container port and multi-purpose port
Table 3 presents the results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing the important levelswithin the four KPI groups following the three types of ports This table shows the Scheffetesting for alpha 05 of all KPI groups This analysis further found that KPI group 1 and group 2has non-significant differences among the three types of ports KPI groups 1 and 2 arepresented as having a high level of important indicators which show higher than 08 importantlevels KPI group 1 shows the non-container ports (988) multi-purpose ports (869) andcontainer ports (846) KPI group 2 displays the mean levels of importance indicators by non-container ports (982) multi-purpose ports (915) and container ports (817) Thus in the threetypes of ports the important indicators need to operate to port sustainability has nodifferentiation
KPIgroup3andgroup4 indicatea significantdifference in the three typesofports KPI group3 fornon-container ports is shown to have the lowest level of indicators of importance (512) after that is themulti-purpose port (754) and container port (883) KPI group 4 for container ports is given to the lowestlevel of importance indicators (719) while the mean level of importance indicators for multi-purposeports (920) and non-container ports (953) are shown to have the highest level of importance indicatorsTherefore container ports offer an important level of KPI group 3 more than non-container ports alsomulti-purpose ports provide an important level of KPI group of three more than a non-container portHowever container ports andmulti-purpose port are given the important level of KPI group 3 with non-differentiation
43 DiscussionsSustainable port is the greatest challenge in the world of ports (Mora Orejas Subirats Ibanez ampAlvarez 2005 Mori amp Best 2017) Ports in Asia have been implementing various green and sustainableactivities seeking to reduce the environmental and social impacts of shipping and port activities (Rohet al 2016 Hou amp Geerlings 2016) In this paper it is found that KPI groups are divided into twomaingroups including the critical KPI groups and the preferable KPI group KPI group 1 and group 2 are thecritical KPI in which the sustainable port must be operated to port management Additionally KPIgroup 3 and group 4 are the preferable KPI groups that port operation need to apply sustainable portsfollowed by types of ports

Sustainable port KPIs total 91 KPIs are comprised of the environmental aspect 22 KPIs (2418)social aspect 28 KPIs (3077) economic aspect 27 KPIs (2967) and port organizational manage-ment aspect 14 KPIs (1538) as shown in Figure 3 This paper introduces that modern port shouldapply these sustainable port KPIs in order to improve their sustainable ports performance
The critical KPIs are shown in the highest explanation of sustainable ports in the 30 KPIs of KPIgroup 1 and 23 KPIs of KPI group 2 There are a total of 53 KPIs that must be considered foroperational planning in ports to achieve port practice towards port sustainability The KPIs group 1presents the economic port manner referring to the port management that is achieved byintegrating key cost efficiency and cooperate social responsibility in ports Port operation canachieve KPIs in group 1 with KPIs of G11ndash130 The applied practices of sustainable port planningcan be considered for the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G11ndash12 explain themanagement of environmental costs and G13ndash113 indicates the cost of cooperate social respon-sibility G14ndash130 specifies the economic management which offers the financial and consumptionin port Port operation can achieve KPIs in group 2 with KPIs of G21ndash223 The applied operationsof sustainable port performance are to consider the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG21ndash213 and G18-23 explain the environmental management in ports and G214ndash117 point tothe environmental efficiency cost and social responsibility However these critical KPIs are pre-sented with non-difference in the level of importance indicators to practice of the three types ofports These ports will be applicable for operation to develop sustainable KPIs for producing thepractical plan and key measurement in port operation
The preferable KPIs are revealed in the exceptional sustainable port KPIs of sustainable portsin the 19 KPIs of KPI group 3 and 19 KPIs of KPI group 4 There are a total of 38 KPIs needed toreflect on operational planning in ports for achieving better performance in port sustainabilityIn the KPIs group 3 presents about the impartial port management referring to the portmanagement that is achieved the superimposed economic and social efficiency in port Portoperation can be achieved with KPIs in group 3 with KPIs of G 31ndash319 The port managementof sustainable planning is to be considered to factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG31ndash33 explain the management of the equitable environment and KPIs of G34ndash119 shownfor operating the social-economic management of a port In the KPIs group 4 it indicated thatthe social port management referring to the port management Port practice can achieve KPIsin group 4 with KPIs of G 41ndash419 The planning of sustainable port operation is to beconsidered with the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G41ndash44 explain theenvironmental management to the community surrounding the port and KPIs of G45ndash411identify the social sustainability in port KPIs of G412ndash419 identify the organization and

In addition the performance measurement of KPIs group 3 in container ports and multi-purposeports need to be given a high importance level of practice planningmore than non-container ports Theperformance measurement of KPIs group 4 in non-container ports and multi-purpose ports need tooffer a high important level of operational management more than container ports In light of theresults obtained container ports andmulti-purpose ports require operational integrating financial andsocial efficiency of KPI group 3 to performance measurement in port Furthermore the practice of KPIgroup 3 in non-container port demands the least importance to manage the performance measure-ment in ports For the need of KPI group 4 container ports require operational indication by the leastimportant social and organizational management less than non-container ports and multi-purposeports these two types of ports affect the more natural environment and social surroundings Allinformation support is to direct the development of a sustainable port which explains the sustainableperformance measurement and port management
5 ConclusionsPort operation focuses on improving port sustainability in order to add value to the high profile ofinternational ports and reduce environmental and social impacts Together with this port operationsupports maritime transport and the overall economic system However in performing the portoperation environmental and social problems have been found and are lacking the sustainableport KPIs This paper finds four sustainable port KPI groups using exploratory factor analysis Thefindings also identify that the sustainable port KPIs are formed into groups The four KPI groups areshown with 91 sustainable port KPIs display factor loadings being higher than a 07 level indicationThese KPIs are included in the environmental aspect 22 KPIs social aspect 28 KPIs economic aspect27 KPIs and port organizational management aspect 14 KPIs
KPI group 1 and group 2 are the critical KPI to explain the high importance of port sustainabilityThese critical KPIs must be applied to sustainable port management Whereas the preferable KPI arefound in KPI group 3 and group 4 which are supported to port sustainability Besides three types ofport are tested for the different group using one-way ANOVA with the important levels of thesustainable port KPI groups As a result KPI group 1 and group 2 are presented as having significantnon-differences but KPI group 3 and group 4 are indicated as being significantly different between thethree types of ports Figure 3 introduces the sustainable port KPIs that contemporary port should applythese KPIs for improving their sustainable ports performance
Therefore port management should be considered with these sustainable port KPIs and sustainableport KPI groups to the first policy and practice for developing sustainability reports towards highperformance and creating a good image of environmentally and socially of sustainable ports Futureresearch can consider these findings in comparison to other stakeholders and in other areas or countries

156 KPIs KPI group 1 determines the highest numbers of sustainable port KPIs with economic portmanner KPI group 2 concludes as having the most sustainable port KPIs with environmental portmanagement KPI group 3 identifies the highest numbers of sustainable port KPIs with impartial portmanagement KPI group 4 indicates most of sustainable port KPIs with social port management
42 The analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing means of the important level of KPI amongthree types of portsThis part analyzes the differences in the importance level among four KPI groups from the threetypes of ports container ports non-container port and multi-purpose port
Table 3 presents the results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing the important levelswithin the four KPI groups following the three types of ports This table shows the Scheffetesting for alpha 05 of all KPI groups This analysis further found that KPI group 1 and group 2has non-significant differences among the three types of ports KPI groups 1 and 2 arepresented as having a high level of important indicators which show higher than 08 importantlevels KPI group 1 shows the non-container ports (988) multi-purpose ports (869) andcontainer ports (846) KPI group 2 displays the mean levels of importance indicators by non-container ports (982) multi-purpose ports (915) and container ports (817) Thus in the threetypes of ports the important indicators need to operate to port sustainability has nodifferentiation
KPIgroup3andgroup4 indicatea significantdifference in the three typesofports KPI group3 fornon-container ports is shown to have the lowest level of indicators of importance (512) after that is themulti-purpose port (754) and container port (883) KPI group 4 for container ports is given to the lowestlevel of importance indicators (719) while the mean level of importance indicators for multi-purposeports (920) and non-container ports (953) are shown to have the highest level of importance indicatorsTherefore container ports offer an important level of KPI group 3 more than non-container ports alsomulti-purpose ports provide an important level of KPI group of three more than a non-container portHowever container ports andmulti-purpose port are given the important level of KPI group 3 with non-differentiation
43 DiscussionsSustainable port is the greatest challenge in the world of ports (Mora Orejas Subirats Ibanez ampAlvarez 2005 Mori amp Best 2017) Ports in Asia have been implementing various green and sustainableactivities seeking to reduce the environmental and social impacts of shipping and port activities (Rohet al 2016 Hou amp Geerlings 2016) In this paper it is found that KPI groups are divided into twomaingroups including the critical KPI groups and the preferable KPI group KPI group 1 and group 2 are thecritical KPI in which the sustainable port must be operated to port management Additionally KPIgroup 3 and group 4 are the preferable KPI groups that port operation need to apply sustainable portsfollowed by types of ports

Sustainable port KPIs total 91 KPIs are comprised of the environmental aspect 22 KPIs (2418)social aspect 28 KPIs (3077) economic aspect 27 KPIs (2967) and port organizational manage-ment aspect 14 KPIs (1538) as shown in Figure 3 This paper introduces that modern port shouldapply these sustainable port KPIs in order to improve their sustainable ports performance
The critical KPIs are shown in the highest explanation of sustainable ports in the 30 KPIs of KPIgroup 1 and 23 KPIs of KPI group 2 There are a total of 53 KPIs that must be considered foroperational planning in ports to achieve port practice towards port sustainability The KPIs group 1presents the economic port manner referring to the port management that is achieved byintegrating key cost efficiency and cooperate social responsibility in ports Port operation canachieve KPIs in group 1 with KPIs of G11ndash130 The applied practices of sustainable port planningcan be considered for the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G11ndash12 explain themanagement of environmental costs and G13ndash113 indicates the cost of cooperate social respon-sibility G14ndash130 specifies the economic management which offers the financial and consumptionin port Port operation can achieve KPIs in group 2 with KPIs of G21ndash223 The applied operationsof sustainable port performance are to consider the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG21ndash213 and G18-23 explain the environmental management in ports and G214ndash117 point tothe environmental efficiency cost and social responsibility However these critical KPIs are pre-sented with non-difference in the level of importance indicators to practice of the three types ofports These ports will be applicable for operation to develop sustainable KPIs for producing thepractical plan and key measurement in port operation
The preferable KPIs are revealed in the exceptional sustainable port KPIs of sustainable portsin the 19 KPIs of KPI group 3 and 19 KPIs of KPI group 4 There are a total of 38 KPIs needed toreflect on operational planning in ports for achieving better performance in port sustainabilityIn the KPIs group 3 presents about the impartial port management referring to the portmanagement that is achieved the superimposed economic and social efficiency in port Portoperation can be achieved with KPIs in group 3 with KPIs of G 31ndash319 The port managementof sustainable planning is to be considered to factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG31ndash33 explain the management of the equitable environment and KPIs of G34ndash119 shownfor operating the social-economic management of a port In the KPIs group 4 it indicated thatthe social port management referring to the port management Port practice can achieve KPIsin group 4 with KPIs of G 41ndash419 The planning of sustainable port operation is to beconsidered with the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G41ndash44 explain theenvironmental management to the community surrounding the port and KPIs of G45ndash411identify the social sustainability in port KPIs of G412ndash419 identify the organization and

Sustainable port KPIs total 91 KPIs are comprised of the environmental aspect 22 KPIs (2418)social aspect 28 KPIs (3077) economic aspect 27 KPIs (2967) and port organizational manage-ment aspect 14 KPIs (1538) as shown in Figure 3 This paper introduces that modern port shouldapply these sustainable port KPIs in order to improve their sustainable ports performance
The critical KPIs are shown in the highest explanation of sustainable ports in the 30 KPIs of KPIgroup 1 and 23 KPIs of KPI group 2 There are a total of 53 KPIs that must be considered foroperational planning in ports to achieve port practice towards port sustainability The KPIs group 1presents the economic port manner referring to the port management that is achieved byintegrating key cost efficiency and cooperate social responsibility in ports Port operation canachieve KPIs in group 1 with KPIs of G11ndash130 The applied practices of sustainable port planningcan be considered for the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G11ndash12 explain themanagement of environmental costs and G13ndash113 indicates the cost of cooperate social respon-sibility G14ndash130 specifies the economic management which offers the financial and consumptionin port Port operation can achieve KPIs in group 2 with KPIs of G21ndash223 The applied operationsof sustainable port performance are to consider the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG21ndash213 and G18-23 explain the environmental management in ports and G214ndash117 point tothe environmental efficiency cost and social responsibility However these critical KPIs are pre-sented with non-difference in the level of importance indicators to practice of the three types ofports These ports will be applicable for operation to develop sustainable KPIs for producing thepractical plan and key measurement in port operation
The preferable KPIs are revealed in the exceptional sustainable port KPIs of sustainable portsin the 19 KPIs of KPI group 3 and 19 KPIs of KPI group 4 There are a total of 38 KPIs needed toreflect on operational planning in ports for achieving better performance in port sustainabilityIn the KPIs group 3 presents about the impartial port management referring to the portmanagement that is achieved the superimposed economic and social efficiency in port Portoperation can be achieved with KPIs in group 3 with KPIs of G 31ndash319 The port managementof sustainable planning is to be considered to factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs ofG31ndash33 explain the management of the equitable environment and KPIs of G34ndash119 shownfor operating the social-economic management of a port In the KPIs group 4 it indicated thatthe social port management referring to the port management Port practice can achieve KPIsin group 4 with KPIs of G 41ndash419 The planning of sustainable port operation is to beconsidered with the factor loading of sustainable port KPIs KPIs of G41ndash44 explain theenvironmental management to the community surrounding the port and KPIs of G45ndash411identify the social sustainability in port KPIs of G412ndash419 identify the organization and

community management to port The preferable KPIs recommend as an important indicatorlevel of difference implementation followed by three types of ports that are found in KPIsgroup 3 and group 4 are significant different testings
In addition the performance measurement of KPIs group 3 in container ports and multi-purposeports need to be given a high importance level of practice planningmore than non-container ports Theperformance measurement of KPIs group 4 in non-container ports and multi-purpose ports need tooffer a high important level of operational management more than container ports In light of theresults obtained container ports andmulti-purpose ports require operational integrating financial andsocial efficiency of KPI group 3 to performance measurement in port Furthermore the practice of KPIgroup 3 in non-container port demands the least importance to manage the performance measure-ment in ports For the need of KPI group 4 container ports require operational indication by the leastimportant social and organizational management less than non-container ports and multi-purposeports these two types of ports affect the more natural environment and social surroundings Allinformation support is to direct the development of a sustainable port which explains the sustainableperformance measurement and port management
5 ConclusionsPort operation focuses on improving port sustainability in order to add value to the high profile ofinternational ports and reduce environmental and social impacts Together with this port operationsupports maritime transport and the overall economic system However in performing the portoperation environmental and social problems have been found and are lacking the sustainableport KPIs This paper finds four sustainable port KPI groups using exploratory factor analysis Thefindings also identify that the sustainable port KPIs are formed into groups The four KPI groups areshown with 91 sustainable port KPIs display factor loadings being higher than a 07 level indicationThese KPIs are included in the environmental aspect 22 KPIs social aspect 28 KPIs economic aspect27 KPIs and port organizational management aspect 14 KPIs
KPI group 1 and group 2 are the critical KPI to explain the high importance of port sustainabilityThese critical KPIs must be applied to sustainable port management Whereas the preferable KPI arefound in KPI group 3 and group 4 which are supported to port sustainability Besides three types ofport are tested for the different group using one-way ANOVA with the important levels of thesustainable port KPI groups As a result KPI group 1 and group 2 are presented as having significantnon-differences but KPI group 3 and group 4 are indicated as being significantly different between thethree types of ports Figure 3 introduces the sustainable port KPIs that contemporary port should applythese KPIs for improving their sustainable ports performance
Therefore port management should be considered with these sustainable port KPIs and sustainableport KPI groups to the first policy and practice for developing sustainability reports towards highperformance and creating a good image of environmentally and socially of sustainable ports Futureresearch can consider these findings in comparison to other stakeholders and in other areas or countries

community management to port The preferable KPIs recommend as an important indicatorlevel of difference implementation followed by three types of ports that are found in KPIsgroup 3 and group 4 are significant different testings
In addition the performance measurement of KPIs group 3 in container ports and multi-purposeports need to be given a high importance level of practice planningmore than non-container ports Theperformance measurement of KPIs group 4 in non-container ports and multi-purpose ports need tooffer a high important level of operational management more than container ports In light of theresults obtained container ports andmulti-purpose ports require operational integrating financial andsocial efficiency of KPI group 3 to performance measurement in port Furthermore the practice of KPIgroup 3 in non-container port demands the least importance to manage the performance measure-ment in ports For the need of KPI group 4 container ports require operational indication by the leastimportant social and organizational management less than non-container ports and multi-purposeports these two types of ports affect the more natural environment and social surroundings Allinformation support is to direct the development of a sustainable port which explains the sustainableperformance measurement and port management
5 ConclusionsPort operation focuses on improving port sustainability in order to add value to the high profile ofinternational ports and reduce environmental and social impacts Together with this port operationsupports maritime transport and the overall economic system However in performing the portoperation environmental and social problems have been found and are lacking the sustainableport KPIs This paper finds four sustainable port KPI groups using exploratory factor analysis Thefindings also identify that the sustainable port KPIs are formed into groups The four KPI groups areshown with 91 sustainable port KPIs display factor loadings being higher than a 07 level indicationThese KPIs are included in the environmental aspect 22 KPIs social aspect 28 KPIs economic aspect27 KPIs and port organizational management aspect 14 KPIs
KPI group 1 and group 2 are the critical KPI to explain the high importance of port sustainabilityThese critical KPIs must be applied to sustainable port management Whereas the preferable KPI arefound in KPI group 3 and group 4 which are supported to port sustainability Besides three types ofport are tested for the different group using one-way ANOVA with the important levels of thesustainable port KPI groups As a result KPI group 1 and group 2 are presented as having significantnon-differences but KPI group 3 and group 4 are indicated as being significantly different between thethree types of ports Figure 3 introduces the sustainable port KPIs that contemporary port should applythese KPIs for improving their sustainable ports performance
Therefore port management should be considered with these sustainable port KPIs and sustainableport KPI groups to the first policy and practice for developing sustainability reports towards highperformance and creating a good image of environmentally and socially of sustainable ports Futureresearch can consider these findings in comparison to other stakeholders and in other areas or countries
