“…That's why financial benefits offered by a port are welcomed by shippers and liners as has been proved with numerous academic studies [e.g. 11,41,42,43,44,45,46]. However, still it is vital to note that, without high service quality, offering attractive prices will not work out.…”

“…Transportation bridges the buyer-seller gaps hence, allowing organizations to extend the reach of their supply chains beyond local supplier capabilities and market demand [3]. Trade and transport are inextricable linked, hence efficient transport services are prerequisites to successful trading [8]. The shipper's choice of a port in the modern world is based on the existence of a perfect supply chain attached to the port [9].…”

In view of the growing international trade in Sub Saharan Africa, and very few studies done on the determinants of port choice from the Sub Saharan African port users perspective, this paper proves that efficiency is one of the critical determinants of port selection. Efficiency is a critical transportation parameter. The kernel of the paper is to examine port choice indicators and critical transportation parameters as a basis for port selection. Fifty-one business representative from Sub Saharan African countries responded to the questionnaire to indicate what they consider as critical in their importation and exportation of shipment via ports in Sub Saharan Africa. The paper established that critical transportation parameters and key port indicators are determinants in the choice of ports.

“…The choice to use a specific port by a carrier or shipper is an implied one, made in attempt to choose a network or transport chains that minimize generalized cost of transport. However, it seems reasonable to assume that the decision to choose a port and routing (transport chain) decisions are related (Onwuegbuchunam, 2013). Therefore a proper understanding of activities of transportation chain elements is relevant to the analysis of their impacts on ports.…”
