True to their promise to embark on a second visit, a team of inspectors from the United States Coast Guard was at Tin Can Island port yesterday to kick-start a three-day inspection of port terminals and oil facilities in Lagos to ascertain the facilities’ compliance with the International Port and Ship facility (ISPS) code.
Shipping Position Daily confirmed that the team was led to the tank farm which is situated at the Tin Can Island port by officials of the ISPS Code Designated Authourity (DA) in Nigeria; that is the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA). There were officials of the Nigerian Ports Authourity (NPA) in the entourage as well.
