Abstract:

This study is focused on the efficiency evaluation of three NNPC jetties in the Niger Delta. Pre and post 2016 jetty performance over a study period of seven years after a change in the government policy on petroleum product supply was analyzed. The analytical tools used in this study were DEA Model and Ordinary Regression Analysis. The study showed that there is significant relationship between the Output variable (Annual Volume) and Input variables (Max Breadth Extreme, Max LOA and Shore Cargo Tank Capacity). The study also showed that there was more efficient use of the jetties pre 2016 than post period. The study also showed that the NNPC Calabar jetty is the overall most efficient NNPC jetty within the period of study in the Niger Delta Region.
