Anzali port as a major and oldest port in north of Iran plays a significant role in cargo transit. A clear identifying of the key situation of this port in North- south Coridor as well as implementing appropriate transit strategy will help the performance of this port through attracting more cargo.In this research first the weakness and strengthens (Internal Factors) as well as treats and opportunities (External factors) of Anzali port are identified and evaluated through SWOT analysis. Analyzing the internal factor evaluation matrix shows that “entering ship to the port without delay” and ” the high rate of cargo handling” are major strengths in functional area of this port while “the lack of coordination among port and other organisation” as well as “ lack of Storage” are the most dominant weaknesses. Results for evaluating external factors indicate “increasing transit income” as the best opportunities and “sever competition in attracting cargo transit” as an important threat. Finally, QSPM technique is applied to evaluate the alternative strategies in this port. Comparing eight key selected strategies indicates that “attracting merchant”, “keeping the fixed customers” and “overhauling port facilities” have the most priority respectively.To provide the total weighted scores in SWOT and the relative attractiveness of QSPM, two separate Likert scale questioner forms are distributed among 16 experts of Anzali port.

In the mean time the performance of transit could be increased through identifying the barriares and effective elemnts of transit cargo attracting.It is the the purpose of the present paper to identify and select the most effective indicies in transit industry at ports. To do this, all of the possible factors and bottlenecks in a transit process are uncovered through library research, interviews and Delfi technics. Then they are categorised based on the three models of fish bone model, type of indices as well as quantity and qualities of indecies. In order to find out wheather each associated factors has an affect on the transit process or not, the binominal test is applied. To do this, a five point likert scale quationer form consist of 27 items was distributed among 16 transit experts. Analysis is done through SPSS softwere. The result indicates that factors such as advertising in shipping line attracting, 24 hourse a day, seven days a week services and having cargo-handling geras with high capacity are observed as non effective factors in transit industry while economic/ prices stability and effective multy modal connectivity at ports (road, railway , aviation..) are considered as effective factors in transit industry. Finnaly, along with the investigation of transit issues at north port of Iran, some identified indices such as port time, vessel throughput and berth throughput are scrutnized at Anzali port as a case study.
