Crude Oil Vessel Owners Challenge Buhari Ban by metroparrot: 12:52pm On Jul 23, 2015 |
A ban on 113 oil tankers ordered by President Muhammadu Buhari must be lifted immediately as no grounds have been given for the measure, the global oil tanker industry association said in a letter of protest. NNPC, acting on Buhari’s order, issued a letter on July 15, which said the vessels, mainly VLCC crude oil tankers, were banned from calling at Nigerian crude oil terminals and also from Nigerian waters with immediate effect. Industry association INTERTANKO, whose independent members own the majority of the world’s tanker fleet, said in a letter to NNPC, dated July 22, that there were no “evidence or grounds” given for the ban. “INTERTANKO protests in the strongest possible way that these bans should be lifted with immediate effect until grounds and evidence for the ban have been given to each vessel and vessel owner/operator, and the owner/operator has had an opportunity to respond,” General Counsel Michele White wrote in the letter. Since taking office in May, Buhari has been working to fulfil a campaign promise to tackle corruption, particularly in the oil industry. He has dissolved the NNPC board and ordered an investigation into a scheme through which the country swaps crude for oil products such as gasoline. White said separately the list of banned tankers was “not exhaustive and already further tankers are being added”. “Our current understanding is that these ships may have been targeted due to a failure to provide official outturn figures at their last call and/or commercial differences between load and discharge figures for cargo and free water,” White said in a separate note to members. “This may also however be part of a general crackdown by President Buhari on corruption in Nigeria’s maritime, oil and gas, financial services and security sectors, including illegal bunkering and fuel sales.” White said after INTERTANKO had spoken with its members in some cases the ship had not called in Nigeria for several years, or at all. “In others, the ship has changed ownership since her last call in Nigeria,” White said. “Members have also advised that some oil majors are attempting to introduce charterparty clauses requiring the owner to warrant that the vessel is not subject to any Nigerian bans or restrictions due to failure to report any outturn figures for prior voyages.” INTERTANKO said it had advised members to avoid such a provision. http://www.metronaija.com/2015/07/crude-oil-vessel-owners-challenge.html cc: lalasticlala ishilove |

Good. Their pockets and businesses have started feeling the effects. If eventually the govt lifts the ban on some of the vessels,i expect that without being prompted,some of them would even fill out true figures in multiple copies and send even to the presidency! What they dare not do in the western world because they know that apart from losing their oil lifting licenses,the vessels themselves maybe seized and their captains prosecuted;but just because of some crooks in the corridors of power,they carried out for several years in Nigeria. Well a new sheriff is in town and things must change. 1 Like |

Na by force . Nigeria no wan see una . Una too plenty. We do not need more than 20 mega tankers to move crude oil . Probably even less . |
Re: Crude Oil Vessel Owners Challenge Buhari Ban by oduastates: 4:24pm On Jul 23, 2015 |
Okontami:You too can buy a tanker and register them anywhere for peanuts. In the 80s , Liberia used to have the largest shipping fleet in the world . Not one of them was owned by a Liberian. I am sure that many of those ships are owned by Nigerians |
