The Nigerian Shippers’ Council (NSC) will on Monday October 15, 2018 meet with the shipping agencies operating in Nigeria over planned introduction of congestion surcharge on Apapa and Tin Can Island Ports by some Shipping Companies.
The Council which made this known in a statement signed by the Director Special Duties, Mr. Ignatius Nweke said that the meeting was in line with Council’s statutory function of regulating tariffs, rates, charges and other related economic services at the Nigerian Ports.
It added that the meeting would afford it an opportunity to examine this contentious issue which would add to the costs of doing business at the Ports.
It would be recalled 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.
