Building anxiety of petrol scarcity, due to a number of queues in Lagos, has been doused as five ships arrived Lagos ports, waiting to discharge the commodity.
The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) stated this in its publication, ‘Shipping Position’, a copy of which was made available to NAN in Lagos on Friday.
The document noted that 33 other ships laden with petroleum products, food items and other goods are expected to arrive Apapa and Tin-Can Island Ports in Lagos from February 19 to March 9.
NPA explained that the expected ships contained buck wheat, bulk salt, bulk sugar, bulk coal, general cargoes, vehicles, containers, Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) cranes, gypsum, petrol, kerosene and Aviation Turbine Kerosene (ATK).
