So sad. Never underestimate the power of mother nature. If the Almighty Bayonne Port can be turn upside down within few minutes, No seaport in this world is safe. Thanks alot Bizbooks.

Us, Canada and Europe have been doing this for over 20 years. Most of the cars are headed to Mexico though. Like usual

Hey you Guys should try live around Apapa area and vincinity (ijora , olodi apapa, ajegunle,mile2) and see containers trucks flooding oshodi apapa expressway causing havoc together with oil tankers causing holdup that can last for a whole 7hours when headin to the apapa port and also tincan ports.. If u see the numbers of ships that barts in the port you go weep for nigeria - we are just a comsuming nation

The water wey enter the motor pass the one wey we dey swim everyday for here?
Thanks for the info though, very useful.

ehie: ZINNOX Comp is crap,they should upgrade to stay in the game,innovate.etc,do not force Nigerians to buy inferior thing out of pity or use emotional blackmail

I agree.
Poor processors that will make you cry and bang your head on the wall and stomp on your pc and hideously pricey for a poor spec.

Its a sad situation for car sellers and those who ship for personal use. Most of d cars have being in port for a month before the natural disaster. I personally hv a sienna full of wedding stuff. What can a man do but to keep d faith.

BizBooks: As we all know, the eastern coast of the United States was devastated by Hurricane Sandy in
late October 2012. Incidentally, the east coast is where the major Ports are located. One of
these major Ports is at Bayonne, New Jersey. After the storm, it was revealed that more than
10,000 cars awaiting shipment to Africa and South America were severely damaged. The damages
include:

· Flood Damage
· Fire Damage
· Body Damage

The damages were so severe that the shipping lines refused to accept the cars for shipment
and asked the owners to remove them from the Port. If you are wondering why the shipping
lines refused to continue with the shipping, it is because the cars were no longer functional.
To load a car on ship, somebody has to actually start it and drive it onto the ship. If a
car cannot start, most shipping lines will not accept it. If they do, they will charge you
a heavy surcharge called Non-Running Vehicle Surcharge.

I wouldn't have written this article if the story ended here. But then something remarkable
happened. Some of these shipping lines turned around and said they will ship these damaged
cars to Africa if the owners put them in a container. Many people took this option and as a
result, these cars are now headed to Nigeria. Some are already in Lagos as we speak while
others will be arriving shortly.

The unfortunate thing is that these flooded and damaged cars will not show up on Carfax or
Autocheck. Carfax and Autocheck do not track cars once they are shipped out of the US. So
the last entry you will see for these cars in VIN reports is: "Exported to Nigeria - October
2012.

So Buyer Beware.

P.S: The picture below shows containers over-turned by hurricane Sandy at Bayonne Port. This
will give you an idea of the force of the storm.

donigspain: When will Nigeria stop being used as a world industrial dump-site?

the moment the office of the presidency decides to give the director of SON to people who are not members of PDP.
there was this guy who resigned from a reputable company because he was fustrated out of the job. he was a former Quality assurance manager and he doesnt take s.h!t. very strict guy.

after his resignation, he wrote to the office of the presidency for that job, we lobbied seriously for him but till date no response.

believe me if someone like him gets that job, he will do better than akunyili did with Nafdac.

he is passionate about standards and quality. little wonder the gods in his company fustrated him.
