Statistical Nomogram for the Evaluation of Berth Activities in Port Areas

In the nautical tourism, the pleasure boating sector is commonly considered a strategic resource.Is important to note that in the economic and statistical literature do not exist, nowadays, specific indicators and models to assess the mooring activity level in a touristic harbour. For this reason, the statistical methodology, developed in this research work aims to define some innovative statistical tools that support researchers in the nautical tourism sector and the port management in decision-making processes. These tools provide a synthetic and detailed representation of the mooring activities and allow a strategic assesment and management of the quality of the service provided in a port area (Navigation Act, 2005).
