Why Cargo Dwell Time Matters in Trade
The international community has been increasing investment in projects that promote trade facilitation and improve logistics in the developing world, including in ports. In Africa, a key motivation for such projects has been a presumption that poor infrastructure and inefficient border control agencies are the major causes of extended delays in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) ports. Based on new data and analysis, this note argues that collusion between controlling agencies, port authorities, private terminal operators, logistics operators, and large shippers is an important part of the problem. Decreasing dwell times in ports requires governments to combat collusive practices between the private sector and public authorities and recognize that large-scale investments in infrastructure are not sufficient to reduce logistics delays.

The international community has been
increasing investment in projects that promote trade
facilitation and improve logistics in the developing world,
including in ports. In Africa, a key motivation for such
projects has been a presumption that poor infrastructure and
inefficient border control agencies are the major causes of
extended delays in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) ports. Based on
new data and analysis, this note argues that collusion
between controlling agencies, port authorities, private
terminal operators, logistics operators, and large shippers
is an important part of the problem. Decreasing dwell times
in ports requires governments to combat collusive practices
between the private sector and public authorities and
recognize that large-scale investments in infrastructure are
not sufficient to reduce logistics delays. |
