The Nigerian Shippers Council (NSC) has announced that it will ensure that Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) in cargo evacuation at the nation's seaports is adhered to.
Also speaking, Railway District Manager, NRC, Mr. Jerry Oche, said the new agreement for the evacuation of cargoes would work because of the SOP was binding on everyone and shippers' council was standing as the supervisor.
Also speaking, External Affairs Manager, APM Terminals, Mr. Daniel Odibe, said it would help bridge communication gap that they had experienced with the system in the past.
"It will definitely help in planning, bridge communication gap that we have experienced with the NRC in the past and lead to more efficient operation with more cargo being handled through the rail tracks," he said.
Odibe commended the shippers' council for bringing together the NRC and APM terminals to bridge that communication gap.
