Medição de desempenho do desenvolvimento de um porto para suporte a eólica offshore: proposta de framework

Abstract

The perspective of implementing Offshore Wind Farms (OWFs) in new markets, such as Brazil, highlights the need to adapt existing port infrastructure and develop new ports. The port development cycle comprises phases involving a set of drivers (locational characteristics, strategic objectives and goals, demand) and performance measures that promote project success. The objective of this research is to structure a framework to guide performance assessment in the development phases of an industrial port, aligned with the principles of green port and smart port, to serve offshore wind. The research method included 5 phases: theoretical research on the topics of performance measurement in ports; documentary analysis of port development projects and port master plans; case study of locations with plans and studies prepared for the development of port infrastructure to serve offshore wind; framework modeling; and analysis of the framework's applicability. The framework's applicability was analyzed by experts who developed the technical, economic and environmental feasibility studies for the green port industry project in the state of Rio Grande Norte in Brazil and by a port manager. The proposed framework comprises 33 general drivers, 9 specific drivers, and 80 performance indicators clustered into 9 dimensions. The research traces the innovation of the evaluation of performance measurements and success drivers of port development from the perspective of project management. Furthermore, the study offers suggestions for performance indicators to be measured and evaluated in each phase by analysts, investors, and developers of the port project, as well as a set of success drivers in each stage of port development.
