NSC FACILITATES RELEASE OF 90 CONTAINERS FOLLOWING COLLABORATION WITH MARITIME POLICE

In a remarkable demonstration of Inter-Agency collaboration, the Nigerian Shippers’ Council, through its Complaints Unit, successfully facilitated the release of 90 imported containers from the hold of Maritime Police Command between Monday, 27th to Friday 31st October, 2025.

The Head, Complaints Unit Dr. Bashir Ambi Mohammed during the compilation and review of Case by Case Study Session held at the Complaints Unit Meeting Room, reiterated the importance of proper documentation of all Maritime Police related disputes. He stated that
the NSC’s intervention aligns with internationally recognized frameworks such as:

• The IMO’s Facilitation Convention (FAL), promoting efficient clearance of goods and reduction of administrative bottlenecks.

• The UNCTAD Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA), emphasizing faster release of cargoes and reduced transaction costs.

• The World Customs Organization (WCO) SAFE Framework of Standards, ensuring secure and transparent supply chain operations.

Dr. Ambi added that through these coordinated efforts, the Council ensures:

• Reduced Container Dwell Time – improving terminal throughput.

• Minimized Demurrage and Storage Costs- protecting shippers’ financial interests.

• Enhanced Inter-Agency Cooperation and Improved Supply Chain Visibility, which collectively contribute to Nigeria’s goal of achieving World Class Port Efficiency and Global Competitiveness in Maritime Trade.
