Abstract
Maritime transport is the backbone of world trade and globalization. Twenty-four hours a day and all year round, ships carry cargoes to all corners of the globe. This role will continue to grow with the anticipated increase in world trade in the years to come as millions of people are expected to be lifted out of poverty through improved access to basic materials, goods and products.
The purpose of this research study was to assess the effect of sustainable supply chain operations on the performance of Douala seaport. The study employed a survey research design and used survey structured questionnaire as its main data collection instrument which was subjected to pretesting to test for reliability using Cronbach’s Alpha.
A Convenient sampling technique was used to get data from Maritime firms in the Douala Seaport and a sample of 4 firms have been selected. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and a multiple regression technique was used for data analysis with the help of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 25.
Findings indicated that procurement planning, suppliers sourcing and Just-in-Time system practices are positive and significant variables in explaining project performance of maritime firms in Douala Seaport.
These findings are consistent with theoretical expectations.
