Abstract: This study aims at doing a comparative analysis of the Spanish North Port Authorities, in the period 2008-2013, and their positioning based on their perception about the ?innovative effort they have made? in the period 2004-2009. In order to achieve this aim, first, a comparative analysis of freight traffic has been carried out in order to obtain an overview of the Spanish North watershed; secondly, , using Rasch methodology, the strengths and weaknesses of each Port Authority have been identified based on the variable ?perceived innovative effort?. As a result of the analysis, the specialization of each Port Authority is shown. In addition, a detailed analysis of the specific facilities of each Port Authority has allowed us to get more information about the specialization of Port Authorities. Finally, the strengths and weaknesses analysis provides an overview of the situation of each Port Authority, indicating the potential lines of action and improvement that they can follow. We consider that this study may be useful for the Port Authority managers and policy makers due to it offers an overview of the situation of the Port Authority compared to its nearest competitors, helping with decision making and resource allocation.
