Analyzing the Relationship between Cargo Throughput and Total Ship Traffic in Lagos, Lomé, and Tema Seaports using TOMS: A Comparative Study

Aworemi, J. R, Abiri, O. N

Abstract


The correlation matrix for the Lomé seaport suggests a weak positive correlation between cargo throughput and total ship traffic. While an increase in cargo throughput is associated with a tendency for total ship traffic to increase, the relationship is not very strong or linear. Other factors, such as economic conditions and industrial activity, may also influence the volume of total ship traffic at the Lomé seaport. Further analysis considering these factors is necessary to fully interpret the findings and understand the underlying factors influencing the correlation between cargo throughput and total ship traffic in the Lomé seaport.
