The main objectives of the monitoring strategy of transportation services and infrastructure at the national, regional, and international levels are to learn from experience, to develop alternative management approaches, and to modify policy regulations to optimize the level of service and use of existing infrastructure. The transportation infrastructure observatories are public or private entities devoted not only to generating statistics but also to collecting and harmonizing transportation data in standardized information systems to support performance-based management of transportation services planning and delivery. An observatory can be a web portal for strategic information and up-to-date reports on relevant inquiries, examining one or more transportation modes in a specific geographical area. This paper provides guidelines for developing the basic structure with the static and dynamic contents of an observatory of port operations, as well as its web-based architecture and functioning. The guidelines include the definition and classification of its key features and users, and the technological requirements of the website architecture. For demonstration purposes, an application is presented for a port operations observatory in the Mediterranean Sea.
