The Nigerian Cabotage law operates a waiver system only on grounds of non-availability. This means that waivers may be granted on all the four pillars of Cabotage where the non-availability criteria are satisfied.

The conditions for granting waivers are expressly spelt out to prevent the use of waivers to subvert the noble objectives of the Act. For waivers to be granted and depending on the application:

• Where the above is not available then 100% foreign owned vessel shall be licensed to supply the service.
