ABSTRACT

Logistics integration and network orientation in the port and maritime industry have redefined the functional role of ports in value chains and have generated new patterns of freight distribution and new approaches to port hierarchy. Existing models on the spatial and functional evolution of ports and port systems only partially fit into the new freight distribution paradigm. This research aims to add to existing literature by introducing a port regionalization phase in port and port system development. It is demonstrated that the regionalization phase and associated hinterland concepts demand new approaches to port governance and a functional focus that goes beyond the traditional port perimeter. The research adopted a descriptive approach examining closely Existing models on the spatial and functional evolution of ports and port systems which only partially fit into the new freight distribution paradigm. Sources of data was from secondary data ranging from journals, library materials, data from Nigeria Port Authority and other internet materials which was deemed relevant for the study. Findings from the study revealed that although Inland distribution is becoming a very important dimension of the globalization/maritime transportation/freight distribution paradigm through port regionalization, it has met with a lot of issues and concerns that tend to impede it from being substantiated in Nigeria. The study therefore recommend that there is need to strengthen the implementation of policy reforms measures and regulations which has been introduced in the sector. This will help to achieve desired goals in the area of ports operations, terminal management, administration and cargo growth in Nigeria. The maritime sector in Nigeria should wake up to this call of paradigm shift in their sector, train expatriates who can develop models on port services can be regionalised in Lagos State as a means of promoting inland/Island transportation especially in those state with poor road networks as this will curb the issue of traffic and enhance efficient transportation system.
