The Manager, APM Terminals Apapa, Steen Knudsen, has blamed overlapping responsibilities of the Nigeria Customs Services , National Drug Law Enforcement Agency , Standard Organisation of Nigeria and National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control for the delay in dwell time of containers at port terminals.
He said while there was a compelling need to reduce the dwell time of containers at the terminal, several factors, most of them beyond the control of terminal operators, made consignees keep their containers at the terminals beyond appropriate time. “We handled 8,134, 847 TEUs of containers since 2006 and more than 650,000 TEUs per year in 2020 and 2021 – the majority of that being import volume. In the last five years, we have managed to grow the business extensively – by 23 per cent yearly on average. We are continuously making our terminal operations more efficient.
