Following the proposed congestion surcharges on Apapa and Tin Can Island Ports by some shipping companies, the Nigerian Shippers’ Council would on Monday, October 15, 2018, meet with Shipping Agencies in Nigeria.
The Council revealed this via a press statement signed by the Director, Special Duties, Mr. Ignatius Nweke.
The meeting which is in line with Council’s statutory function of regulating tariffs, rates, charges and other related economic services at the Nigerian Ports would afford it an opportunity to examine this contentious issue which would add to the costs of doing business at the Ports.
Recall that some Shipping Companies had recently issued a notice to Shippers on the introduction of congestion surcharge of $400 per container on Lagos bound cargoes.
