This research surveys Khorramshahr port solutions about empty container crisis and identifies reasons for adopting strategies and effective factors on it. At first, the researcher attended the Khorramshar container terminal while observed empty container management procedure and interviewing with responsible persons of Khorrmshahr container terminal and container shipping company Hoopad Darya. During the interviews, the researcher could find information about possible solutions for empty container management. After detecting possible management strategies for decreasing amount of empty container movements and it’s costs, strategies prioritized by aid of industry experts and using AHP method. Finally, the amount of export and trade imbalances recognized as the important factors for accumulation of empty containers. This research based on objective is an applied research and based on nature is mixed research. The results of research shows that the best way of empty container management is creating private yards outside Khorramshahr areas and completing dry port and land transportation of empty containers to Immam Khomayni port. Final part of research is offering applied suggestions.

The aim of this study, is evaluating of relative efficiency of major container port in Middle East for the period of 2011-2013. Required information was collected from scientific resources and inputs and outputs data were collected from statistical yearbook of the Iran’s ports and maritime organization and formal website of each foreign port. Firstly in this study Relative Efficiency of Ports were evaluated via one basic model of DEA-technique namely BCC-O. Then ports were ranked based on the achieved results. To rank ports with the 100% efficiency Anderson-peterson method was used. Based on the results of output- oriented CCR model that represents overall technical efficiency, port of Khorafkan, has the highest coefficient of efficiency and Bandar Imam Khomeini has been the weakest port in three years in this respect. The average efficiency of studied ports is 54.3% in the period of 2011-2013. Finally, virtual ports were proposed as template for inefficient ports to improve efficiency.
