FULL LIST: Truck parks approved by NPA to clear Apapa congestion

March 13, 2021 1:15 pm

The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has categorised truck parks as part of ongoing efforts to clear the congestion on access roads leading to the Lagos Port Complex and the Tin Can Island Ports.

The NPA introduced Eto, an electronic truck call-app, on February 27 to remove human interference in the process of calling up trucks to the ports.

Ibrahim Nasiru, assistant manager of the NPA corporate and strategic communications division, said the authority has made progress in resolving the congestion and tackling issues as they arise.

“Transporters and truck owners who do not use the approved truck parks based on the categorisation would be unable to access the ports,” Nasiru said in a statement.

He also urged export cargo owners to ensure they complete all documentation before approaching the ports as failure to do so will be met with denial of access into the ports.

He said the NPA is working with the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) to create a conducive environment for export cargo owners.

Below is a list of the designated truck parks and the categorisation:

The truck parks NPA created or engaged to ensure free traffic at port roads is commendable. The NPA needs to deal with the heart of the traffic issue at the ports roads instead of beating about the bush. The terminal operators must be willing to receive return empty containers at any time back to the port. I have spent thirty two years transacting business at Nigeria seaports. Any arrangement short of that is like water poured on rock. Until shipping companies and terminal operators are willing to receive return container empties any time they are returned the traffic solutions will remain smoke screen efforts.
