DEA window analysis has been a great tool used in improving the economic\nimpacts of ports through its efficiency analysis. This has been employed to\nports found in West Africa, Europe, Asia ports; nonetheless, this has not been\napplied to Indian Ocean Island ports. The purpose of this paper is to investigate\nthe port efficiencies of four island port countries found in the West Indian\nOcean (port Reunion, the port of Colombo, Port Louis and the port of\nToamasina). DEA window analysis is used to determine port efficiency and to\nobserve the possibility of changes in port efficiency over time. Despite the\nmeasures were put in place to improve the efficiency of the port, corruption,\nunskilled labour and others are some inefficiencies that hinder the performance\nof the port. Implications and future research directions are also included\nin this study.
