Nigeria: Shipping companies still collect demurrage from importers

Empty containers: Shipping companies ignore Osinbajo’s task force

Shipping companies are ignoring directives by the taskforce set up by the Vice President on the decongestion of the port access roads, as they have continued to collect demurrage from importers and their agents for empty containers dropped at the approved holding bays by the taskforce.

Vanguard Maritime Report gathered that the taskforce had directed importers and their agents to drop their empty containers at designated holding bays around the port axis and a receipt to that effect is given to such importer and the agent to process claims.

A source who spoke with Vanguard Maritime Report on the issue said that the shipping companies collect between N7,000 and N10,000 daily on every container.
