Logistics performance has been considered a key factor in goods export competitiveness. This paper analyzes how logistics performance has affected Tunisian maritime exports destined European principal partners (France, Italy, Spain, and Malta) over the period 2007?2017. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between logistics performance and maritime exports in Tunisia, in order to identify the most important LPI sub-dimension also, to guide decision-makers in improving the weakest Tunisian logistics performance sub-dimension. The gravity model was used to estimate the impact of the Logistics Performance Index and its components on goods export competitiveness. Findings confirm that only Logistics Performance Index sub-dimension related to the quality of infrastructure (e.g. seaports, railroads, roads, information technology) has a significant positive impact on Tunisian maritime exportation.
