Abstract—The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is a valuable management system which is used for different companies to elucidate and translate their strategies into execution; nevertheless the BSC has not been planned for container terminals and ports users' satisfaction in a great extent.

The BSC can be used by the companies which are responsible for handling container terminals operation in order to achieve value, controlling core competencies, satisfying the terminal's users or customers and offering bonus to the terminal's shareholders.
