Abstract Seaport terminals are major facilitators of international trade. One issue that is very crucial to the performance and survival of seaport terminals is the quality of service provided. However, in order to enhance the quality of service provided at these terminals, it is important to know customers’ expectations and perceptions about service quality. Notwithstanding, very little is known about customers’ expectations and perceptions on the service quality of seaport terminals in Africa. This paper therefore provides a comparative analysis of service quality of Nigerian seaport terminals with the aid of the gap score technique of the service quality (SERVQUAL) model. It is found that generally, all the selected terminals studied have low service quality. With regard to the average gap score per service quality dimension for all the selected terminals, transparency has the best service quality (least gap score) whiles responsiveness has the least service quality (highest gap score). The implication is that, in seaport terminals quest to enhance service quality, more attention should be paid towards enhancing responsiveness by providing prompt services, helping customers and informing them when exactly services will be performed.

Seaport terminals are important intermediaries in international trade. One issue that is critical to the performance and survival of port terminals is the quality of the services provided. However, to improve the quality of the service of these terminals, it is important to know the expectations of the customers and the perceptions about the quality of the service. Regardless, very little is known about customer expectations and perceptions of the quality of service at Vietnam seaport terminals. Therefore, this document offers a comparative analysis of the quality of service of the South East Vietnam seaport terminals using the Gap Score Technique of the Service Quality (QoS) Model (SERVQUAL). It is found that, in general, all examined selected terminals have a low quality of service. With the average gap score per QoS dimension for all selected terminals, transparency has the best QoS (lowest gap score), while responsiveness has the lowest QoS (highest gap score). The implication is that import terminals strive to improve the quality of service. More attention should be paid to improving responsiveness by providing fast services, assisting customers, and letting them know exactly when services are being performed.
