Logobenz3: But compare the cost of that insurance to the cost of the goods lost. Insurance should be mandatory for anyone venturing into such business otherwise it becomes a case of penny wise, pound foolish. 2 Likes 1 Share |

tot:also,if I pay insurance and my competitors don't pay and we are to sell in the same market,don't you think my price will be higher than theirs and hence no one will buy my goods? There is no room for extra cost here,trust me Unless of course it is made mandatory for everyone that loads in that vessel to pay insurance,then we will because we all suffer the dame or similar cost burden. Business no easy my dear. Even for Tin can,Apapa,Europe and America(i participate a lot in that sphere too),we dey bypass insurance steady and customs too. That is some of the ways importers make money. 4 Likes |

Logobenz3: I know, I totally understand it's not easy. It's just that having insurance gives you peace of mind that if any mishap happens (which is a high possibility in a high risk environment like Nigeria) your investment is protected. Why not get quotes from different insurance companies? It might not be as high as you think and you may be able to spread the cost. Nonetheless, all the best with your business. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Your typical Nigerian never has money to invest in safety, but will spend money on flexing. Reinvest in areas that will make the business grow is a complete nono. Better to spend the money on chop life. This is the result. Those who have ears let them hear. It is the same way some of my colleagues refused to insure their cars and had same completely totaled in accidents. 4 Likes |

Jesus! this is very sad in this harsh economy. where are they going to start over after investing huge amount of money to start there business. me still dey here saving from the little I'm earning to start a business.. this world is indeed comical. |

pocohantas:Go and do your research on ferries. They move both humans and cargo and it costs a lot of money to purchase and run. Travel out more so you can experience and see these things first hand. And as for the dummy up there saying trash,I am still waiting for him to start and run a business successfully for 3 months.not hide under someone's shadow and collect salary and you begin to feel you are smarter than everybody else. Honestly if he was,he won't be where he is! James started COMATRANS in his 30s so I expect you brother ornicus to please show us the right thing to do Ndi ala 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Chai, this your story reminded me a same scenario that happened in this same calabar port years back. I think they overload this vessels a lot, I dunno if there’s a way the gauge the normal loads to carry as most of the accidents occur when the vessels are overloaded. Rip Angel Gabriel” that was the name of that huge vessel that I watched sank on sea 1 Like |
Re: Austrheim Sinks: Disaster At Sea, Sad Day For Nigerian Businessmen & Travellers by Logobenz3: 5:13pm On Aug 27, 2019 |
Triniti:I know Angel Gabriel na. Very huge monster that plied Calabar to Limbe route. Sank in 2010 or so I think.its been long so I don forget. Yes they overload those vessels a lot then but adjusted after the whole Angel Gabriel saga and they Advent of Egyptian and Senegalese crew. Those guys don't take shit.When they say no more load,they mean it. Also Fakoship too did well but excess cost ran the company aground. They employed ornicus's business model in Nigeria and barely ran for 2 years Come triniti e be like I sabi you o lol. If I begin mention names now you go shout haha 1 Like 1 Share |

Logobenz3:You were almost right Nwanneni. The Angel Gabriel accident happened in 2007. That vessel was huge as trailers lined up for two days offloading goods on it. Well, that wasn’t my line of business. I was just trying to cure my curiosity about water travels and my brother insisted that I bring in his goods while coming. He deals on spare parts. I was going to Cameroon, while Angel Gabriel was going to Gabon....Lol. Some guys are scared of water, when men dey enter six passengers flying boat from Cameroon to Nigeria under few hours. I swear, if Na to hustle make money, Ipob get the mind.Bro, I go follow you talk soon. Make I just finish Wetin dey my hand 2 Likes |
