SHIPPERS’ COUNCIL BROKERS INCREMENT OF FEE STORAGE DAYS TO 12 DAYS

As part of the ongoing efforts to mitigate the effects and reduce the extra cost of the perennial traffic gridlock in Apapa on shippers, Nigerian Shippers’ Council (NSC) has waded into the litany of complaint arising from the gridlock

The Federal Government through the Nigerian Shippers’ Council Presidential Enabling Business Environment Committee, (PEBEC), and the foreign shipping lines operating in Nigeria now have an agreement to increase storage days of cargoes from 5 days to 12.

The agreement will further reduce the amount of demurrage paid by importers on cargoes that stay longer than necessary in the port.
