Abstract

The objective of the investigation was to analyze the administrative management of maritime operations in Puerto Bolívar del Ecuador based on the company Yilport Holding INC (YILPORTECU). The study was descriptive, under a non-experimental field design. The administration of maritime port operations reflects that the administration carried out by the public sector has deficiencies in terms of productivity, since it is not considered an independent business. The concessions (private - mixed), being structured as private businesses, establish goals and objectives to be met by the administrators, for which they must generate maximum productivity, in order to obtain strong profitability, which makes them visibly accepted by the State, as long as the contracts are favorable for it, as reflected in the administration of maritime port operations by Yilport Holding INC (YILPORTECU).
