Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) Board of Directors says it has decided to clear all abandoned vessels disrupting the operations of Integrated Oil and Gas Free Zone (Intels) in and at other concessionaires in Eastern ports.
The Chairman of the Board, Mr Emmanuel Adesoye, disclosed this on completion of a facility tour of Onne Port by the Board members on Thursday.
The abandoned vessels obstructing the operations of Intels belong to a company whose operations had been taken over by Assets Management Company (AMCOM).
Adesoye said that the management of NPA would try to move all abandoned vessels in various terminals to safe anchorage to improve the operations of concessionaires and increase government revenue.
He suggested that Intels should dialogue with NPA and the owner of the abandoned vessels to see if there would be alternative ways of evacuating the abandoned vessels.
Adesoye said that NPA would also consult to seek ideas on how to go about it.
