Abstract

Maritime trade throughout history has played an important role in the economic development of countries worldwide (Falla & Camargo, 2018), for which port infrastructure plays an important role in this. However, few studies have been dedicated to studying the influence it has on the movement of cargo in port terminals, so this research aims to analyze the port infrastructure of port terminals in the Colombian Caribbean and its impact on traffic. . Colombian port, using evaluation analysis and linear regression models, as tools to identify patterns that lead to its determination. The results showed that there is a compensation between the infrastructure variables analyzed, indicators that relate these variables and the tons moved between the port terminals analyzed. Likewise, there is statistically significant evidence of a relationship between these variables, which can account for the influence of one against the other.
