Speaking on the sideline of the 3rd Maritime Stakeholders’ Interactive Forum, Bello revealed that 35 percent of the charges being collected by the shipping lines will be gone by next month.

“We are actually competing with the cost and demurrages at our ports, thirty five percent of the shipping line charges will be removed by next month, So I am appealing to STOAN to also come on board so that there would be a reduction of cost at our ports”, he added
