Exploitative Charges: NSC Introduces Competitive Port Levy

After years of exploitative charges by shipping companies operating in the country, the Nigerian Shippers’ Council (NSC) has concluded arrangement to introduce flexible rates in port charges as it begins a regime of competitive pricing.

Executive Secretary and Chief Executive Officer of the council, Hassan Bello disclosed this in an exclusive chat with THISDAY in Lagos.

Bello said the NSC would later this month, sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the shipping companies to agree on the templates for port charges.

The MoU, he stressed, is part of the strategies to sanitise the industry and effectively supervise the foreign shipping companies operating in Nigeria and terminal operators and to ensure that Nigerian ports become competitive in the West and Central African region.
