They are in charge of the transit of goods and therefore, they have developed high technical standards and implemented interesting logistic processes with the aim of meeting their clients’ needs of proper and agile delivery. Lately, one of the strategies being adopted by ports to be more competitive in the globalization process is to apply the logistic approach to their administrative and operative management. Currently, providing a service with a standard quality and at low prices and to develop and exhausting commercial and promoting activity is not enough because clients, additionally, wan to receive a greater quality of added values during the port operation. The former describes one of the challenges of ports as enterprises, which can face the application of port logistics combined with the transport systems. 4.
