As controversy swirls interpretation of NPA’s directive
By Godwin Oritse
THE Nigerian Ports Authority, NPA, may be mulling sanctions against terminal operators that have failed to comply with the waivers on demurrage and storage charges it ordered following the advent of the Coronavirus, COVID-19, pandemic in Nigeria.
Some groups of clearing agents who spoke to Vanguard Maritime Report have claimed that terminal operators are flouting the NPA’s 21-day demurrage freeze, charging them for clearance of cargoes within the period.
They also indicated that a controversy seems to have enveloped NPA’s directive as the terminal operators argue that the suspension order should only apply to cargoes brought into the terminal during the 21-days period starting from the date of NPA’s letter
