Carriage of goods by sea starts with maritime carriage contracts that governed by freedom of contract principle but incorporation of non-liability clause in this contracts widely in favor of carrier led to governments make legislation for remedy of this non bargaining power so the legislations are in order to make balance between carrier and sender, but internal legislation in this respect led to fragmentation and this phenomena led to conflict of law , for preventing of this ,international community attempted to unification law in this area is Convention on Contracts for the International Carriage of Goods Wholly or Partly by Sea adopted by United Nations that Popularly known as the Rotterdam Rules that extending the period of responsibility of the carrier beyond tackle-to tackle and port-to-port while still allowing the parties to agree on the otherwise.Several important principles are reflected in the Rotterdam Rules. Foremost among these is the desire to achieve broad uniformity in the law governing the international carriage of goods The Rotterdam Rules now offer the only realistic possibility for an internationally uniform regime in this respect.

This applied research has been conducted to evaluate the competitiveness of port services using exploratory factor analysis and importance- performance analysis methods. First, by literature review, 53 indicators of competitiveness of port services has been identified, then exploratory factor analysis was used to ensure the effectiveness of the identified indicators. Based on the obtained results from 53 identified indicators, in the factor analysis, only 27 of indicator have loadings on the eight factors of Logistics Cost, Connectivity, Port facility, Port Service and Availability, Safety and security, Efficiency and Productivity, Reliability, Hinterland condition. The results of the importance and performance analysis showed that among of eight factors, respectively efficiency and productivity factor has the highest and Hinterland condition has the lowest the difference between the performance average from importance average. And also the Position of each factor in the quarters of the importance and performance matrix indicates that other than the second factor (Connectivity) and fifth factor (Safety and Security) all other factors located in a quarter one.

This applied research has been conducted to identify and rank the causes of delay in container handling operation in two stages. In the first, having considered the daily census of container handling operation in the pertinent terminal of the port, As well, brain storming cessions attended by experts from the studied container terminals were held during which twenty seven numbers of causes of delay were detected. In the second stage, having considered the detected factors from the first stage, the probability of the causes occurrence, the extent of impact of causes on process after their occurrence and probability of causes detection before having effect on process have been determined by experts in form of a scale ranging from one to ten, Finally based on the obtained scores by each one of the causes, the decision matrix was formed and the mentioned causes were ranked by TOPSIS method. The abstained results showed that the causes of delays in loading and unloading operations in studied container terminals have significant different in the terms of probability of the causes occurrence, the extent of impact of causes on process after their occurrence and probability of causes detection before having effect on process. Finally to mitigation of these causes several strategies have been presented.
