    (A.A.U., 2019-06) Fekade, Tilahun; Mohammed, Seid (Dr.)
    The road transport industry is by far the most predominant mode and backbone of the Ethiopian economy handling over 97% of domestic freight as stated in the Federal Republic of Ethiopia’s National Transport Master Plan study. Though it is a major focus of government regulatory activity, the Federal Road Transport Authority is not supervising the operation of liquid cargo transporters. This study is aimed at assessing the Liquid Cargo Transport performance in the case of National oil Ethiopia (NOC) Ethiopia. The purpose is to identify gap, constraints that affects liquid cargo transporters performance and which eventually affects the Oil Company. The research design employed is descriptive-cross- sectional which has a decisive role for quality research. In such a way, the researcher has selected a survey method and information has collected from 90 respondents from both NOC employees and transporters. The study indicates the elements identified in the research showed that they are crucial for the transporter performance. It also showed that National Oil Ethiopia and its outsourced Liquid cargo transporters have to work together so that both to be beneficial. The little emphasis given to one of the elements that is Safety Management by the transporter is a reflection of the attitude of most companies in the country. The business case for safety need to be understood by all stakeholders. Therefore, partnership mentality is needed to address the transporter performance issues which is within the hand of the National Oil Ethiopia and its Outsourced liquid cargo transporters. Apart from that government need to address the issues that affect liquid cargo transporters before it affects the supply chain of fuel in the country.
