“…Ugboma and Oyesiku (2021) believe that state regulation of the Nigerian ports has brought some improvements in terms of service delivery and port productivity. They nevertheless argue that, despite the improvements in cargo throughput, turnaround time, and cargo handling equipment recorded in the post‐concession period, there are still challenges concerning a dearth of skilled manpower, inadequate infrastructure, congestion, and operational bottlenecks.…”

State regulation of Nigeria's maritime ports: Exploring the impact of port concession on both the regulator and the operators

Extant literature neglects the impact of state regulation in a dual structure of port governance by both the government and private terminal operators (via the public-private partnership). Using the Nigerian experience, this article interrogates the impact of the implementation of Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) regulatory frameworks on the management of 2006 port concession in the maritime industry. Based on qualitative and content analysis of data, the article argues that poor articulation and implementation of the NPA regulatory frameworks are implicated in the level of port asset management, operational efficiency, quality of port service, compliance capacity of terminal operators, and patronage system in the maritime industry. The terminal operators capitalize on the complications and gaps in the NPA regulatory frameworks to substantially subvert the government's port control and undermine effective port-asset management in the maritime industry.

“…The need for seaports to ensure efficiency in their operations have been very critical considering the rise in trade volumes (Robinson, 2014;Jeevan et al, 2019Jeevan et al, , 2021Ugboma and Oyesiku, 2020). According to Matinez (2011), seaports are sites where there are facilities to berth or anchor ships for cargo management.…”

PurposeThe introduction of information technology (IT) in port operations has been a tremendous contributor to transformation in world trade. This study was carried out to examine the influence of IT on the efficiency of seaport operations.Design/methodology/approachThe study is quantitative in nature, and it relied on a closed-ended self-administered questionnaire to collect primary data. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the theoretical model and hypothesis.FindingsThe results indicate that IT has a positive direct effect on port operational efficiency (OE) and an indirect effect on port OE through organizational culture (OC). The mediating role of OC is statistically insignificant.Originality/valueThis is among the first few attempts in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) that provides researchers with a contemporary view of IT and seaport operations.
