5 th Meeting of the COMCEC Transport and Communications Working Group Assessing Port Efficiency in OIC Member States Dr. Khalid Bichou Ports and Transport Logistics Advisor, K Bichou & Associates Ltd PORTeC Research Director & Visiting Chair, Imperial College London
Controllable vs. non-controllable factors Why Assessing OIC Ports Efficiency To measure and compare productive efficiency of selected OIC ports To benchmark OIC port efficiency against that of international best practice To uncover and understand any underlying factors behind OIC ports (in)efficiency To track potential shifts of productive efficiency over time To test convergence or divergence of productive efficiency across specific port groups To decompose and analyse sources of efficiency, e.g. technical v. scale v. Technology

Controllable vs. non-controllable factors Efficiency Results for OIC and Reference Ports: Panel-Data Analysis When adding the 6 reference ports to the terminal dataset, the average efficiency of OIC ports drops between 10-15%. Even tough, the results mirror those of the cross-sectional analysis with Apapa-2009 the least efficient. Other OIC ports (Maputo-2010, Dakar-2009, Casablanca East- 2010) also show particularly low efficiency scores. The 100% efficient ports are those of Hong Kong International (HIT), Singapore (PSA), Tanjung Pelepas (PTP), and Shenzhen (YIT). Northport, Westport and Salalah depict an equally high performance as the one set by reference international ports

Productivity Change: Multi-Year Analysis Regressing average productivity change for OIC ports over all pair-years. 2012-2013 Aqaba, Ambarli-K, Casablanca-E & Casablanca-W registered highest productivity change 2011-2012 Apapa, Salalah, Westport, Dakar, and Doraleh registered lowest productivity change 2010-2011 2009-2010 Port Qasim registered no productivity change 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 No TFP change Productivity loss Productivity gains
Productivity Change Analysis: Efficiency Decomposition Decomposing total factor productivity (TFP) into pure, scale, and technology components 1.6 1.5 1.4 1.3 1.2 1.1 1 0.9 0.8 2009-2010 2010-2011 2011-2012 2012-2013 Technical change TFP change Pure tecnhical change Scale efficiency change TFP and its sub-categories do not all follow similar productivity trends Average pure efficiency change has been flat across all observation periods TFP and scale efficiency changes followed same trend upward trends Technological change followed a different pattern from other indices
Productivity Change Analysis by Terminal Group Private-sector ports do not exhibit a similar TFP change to that of public sector ports. Private-sector ports show higher technology change to that of public sector ports Gateway ports do not exhibit a similar TFP change to that of transhipment ports. Gateway ports show higher scale change to that of transhipment ports. Large scale ports show up to 50% more productivity change than that of small ports Large scale ports exhibit a similar TFP change to that of transhipment ports.
Analysis of Logistics Trade Efficiency Relying on data from global indices: LSCI, LPI, and trading across borders indicators. LSCI analysis shows Malaysia, Egypt, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and Turkey well connected to global shipping networks Countries lest connected are Qatar, Guinea Bissau, Guyana, Brunei, Iran, Iraq, Guinea, Mauritania, Comoros, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Maldives, Kuwait, Bangladesh, & Mozambique. LPI analysis shows Malaysia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Morocco, and Oman come on top of the rankings; while Djibouti and Mozambique come at the bottom. OF LPI components, the quality of infrastructure, ease of shipments, and timeliness; those seem to be highly correlated to port performance. Trading across border indicators show the exorbitant time lag and trade cost imposed on landlocked OIC countries. Analysis also shows trade and export costs in Mozambique, Nigeria and Senegal can be twice as much as those in Malaysia, Morocco, and Turkey.
Six Main Performance and Policy Recommendations 1. Compile and Publish Detailed Port KPIs 2. Conduct Port Performance and Yardstick Benchmarking 3. Improve Port Performance through Competition and PSP 4. Incorporate Performance Requirements in Concession Agreements 5. Upgrade Port Assets and Invest in Technology to Improve Port Productivity 6. Improve Trade Logistics Efficiency to Reduce Port Costs and Delays
