In furtherance to its mandate to promote safety and ensure a secured water transport environment, the Lagos State Waterways Authority, LASWA has advised all boat/ferry operators both private and commercial, boat associations/unions, boat clubs, tourists and passengers to take extra precautions during the rainy season.

LASWA management in a notice issued in Lagos on Tuesday with the caption, “Need To Be More Safety Conscious During The Rainy Season “, warned that the comes with increased water volume, unstable currents, and foggy weather conditions that significantly reduce visibility and complicate navigation adding that those factors heighten the risk of accidents on the waterways.

“To mitigate thise risks, LASWA strongly advises the following safety measures:

“Commuters are urged to comply with all safety protocols and adhere strictly to directives issued by LASWA Marine Guards, especially during rainfall when operations may be temporarily halted to prevent mishaps.

“Boat operators must reduce speed and navigate with heightened caution. Vessels should not be overloaded under any circumstance(s), and operations must be suspended during adverse weather conditions until it is safe to resume.

“Due to poor visibility and increased risk during the rainy season, traveling at night or in low visibility conditions should be strictly avoided.

“Operators and passengers should be wary of weather conditions before departure”, the notice read in part.

It however, encouraged passengers to report any unsafe practices or non-compliance with safety protocols to LASWA officials or through its official channels noting that for complaints or emergencies, passengers should contact the LASWA Hotline on 08090129777 or 0700 CALL LASsWA.
