It is concluded that Ethiopia Shipping and Logistic Service Enterprise were less performing in their logistics performance. The findings of the study revealed that each dimensions of logistics performance (logistics differentiation, logistics efficiency and logistics effectiveness) have under performance. The study recommended for Ethiopia Shipping and Logistic Service Enterprise to continuously improve their logistical performance, among other things, through strengthening and developing a good relationship with others modernize their order management practice. Furthermore, it is also advisable for them to further improve the relationship between customer and other sister company or enterprise of in a foreign country.
