Abstract
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of container terminals in Tanzania ports. The relative efficiencies encouraged to identify the potential areas of improvement for the inefficient terminals. However, Tanzania is much excluded from literature toward port/terminal operation performance since many studies focus on Asia and Europe. To enhance understanding of Tanzania port or terminal efficiency, the present study is full demanded. However, the traditional studies on container terminal efficiency tend to focus on partial productivity measures such as TEU per crane. These instruments do not assess the overall efficiency of terminal operations, as they only look at specific aspects of the terminal operation process. The study uses measurement of container terminal efficiency based on Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). It is found that the lowest score is 0.430 while the highest score is 0.997 of technical efficiency among container terminals. On average, a typical container terminal in the sample during the study periods has efficiency level about 0.821 meaning that the terminal operating at 82.1% which is below the maximum potential output on the frontier. Therefore there is a possibility of terminals to increase efficiency by 17.9%. The most efficient terminal found is Zanzibar, and the least is Mtwara terminal. The promotion of private sectors contribution and mechanization to reduce inefficiency level indeed are required to fullfill the timely submission, timely delivery, and higher quality services
