Dry Ports are the specific sites to which imports and exports can be consigned for inspection by customs and which can be specified as the origin or destination of goods in transit accompanied by documentation such as the combined transport bill of lading or multi-modal transport document. However, the management of trucks, loading and unloading time, processing of custom duties, port machinery productivity and dwelling time, etc. were the problems at MDP. the research problems in addition were delays at checking points, temporary storage and transport cost at inter-terminal. Therefore, this research was conducted with a model and analysis of Modjo dry port transport logistics performance to overcome the factor affecting the efficiency and effective of the transport logistics in the port. To overcome the problems, primary data collection methods (Site survey: observation, data record, questionary and interview) took place with the help of the company’s workers cooperation whose answers questionary properly 117 of 146 considered in the research. The secondary data source (Text books, articles, journals, theses, and company documents) was used for preliminary identifying the problems and validating the study after the results were analyzed. The raw data collected through different tools in the research were analyzed with the help of SPSS, Excel, and QM for windows software packages. The analyzed data was shown by percentage, mean, table, chart and graphs and the results were shown by graphical and mathematical models. After the results obtained were analyzed and discussed, the research questions; the model of the transport logistics performance, and the performance of its operations were answered. In these results, different performance indicators and their attributes were modeled from the existing model with modifications, in terms of checking points (in-gates) an additional in gate and two other reach stackers at temporary storage will be necessary to be assigned, and the terminal transports should be directly delivering the cargo through CFS to the customers for cost and time optimizationenchecking pointCFSDry portTransport logisticsPerformanceTerminal operating systemThesis
