dc.description.abstract	Supply chain integration practices are considered a powerful tool to optimize performance of the organization. The objective of this study was to analyze the role of supply chain integration on performance of the Berbera port in Somaliland. Analysis of the supply chain integration dimensions requires determination of major components: internal integration, supplier integration and customer integration. The need of development of seaport terminals, in order to achieve for a closer integration into supply chains Structures have been the essential factors that initiated this study for investigation. Both descriptive and explanatory research design was employed with the sample of 133 employees, while 100% of respondents were gathered. A questionnaire was used as a research tool for collecting data. Available data on these factors was gathered, formatted, processed and thoroughly checked for continuity and consistency. The supply chain integration and port performance data were filled using the Five Point Likert-Scale moreover; independent variables (supply chain integration) and dependent variables (Port Performance) are also cross-checked from Pearson correlation matrix. To predict port performance from supply chain integration dimensions, which include internal integration, supplier integration and customer integration, the multiple linear regression models were followed. The analysis indicated that the independent variables supply chain integration with respect supplier, customer and internal integration explained 62.2% of port performance moreover, out of two of those independent variables (i.e. customer integration and internal integration) were statistical significant with P- value less than 0.05; whereas the remaining variable ( supplier integration was statistically insignificant p-value of greater than 0.05.The study concluded that one variable is relatively low compare to the others (customer integration and internal integration).This implies that those dimensions of supply chain are not at the optimal level of the port. It’s recommended that all three dimensions of the supply chain, (supplier integration, customer integration and internal integration) needed to be incorporated at the optimal level through system automation, framework agreement and relationship management in order to be achieved efficient and effective port performance.	en_US
