Calabar Port Berths 190-Metre Long General Cargo Vessel by Bobloco: 7:11am On Sep 29, 2022
We’re active, not sleeping, ready for business —Port Manager


CALABAR —The Nigerian Ports Authority, NPA, has restated its avowed commitment to ensuring that Calabar Port remains one of the most viable ports in the country, following the berthing of a 190-metre long vessel from China with 11,800 tonnes of cargo.

The General Cargo Vessel, MV Yong Jin, came into Nigeria on September 24, 2022, with about 100 heavy duty trucks, excavators, fire fighting truck among others.

Speaking with newsmen at the ECM Terminals, yesterday, in Calabar, the Calabar Ports Manager, Mr. Olumati Festus, said the port received over three big vessels in the last 90 days, adding that port activities have kept increasing.

He explained that the frequent berthing of vessels shows that Calabar Port is not “sleeping” but actively creating opportunities for locals also.

His words: “The economy of the state, locals and food vendors benefit everyday, because during break by noon and after close of work, they buy food, water and drinks. All these go directly into pockets of small business owners within and around the port.

“This has once again proven critics of Calabar port wrong, we are strongly in business and this is the third vessel in less than three months. We are open, ready and have the man power for business.

“The MV Yong Jin came in from China on the 24th of this month and over 100 trucks, excavators were among the 11,800 tonnes of general cargo being off-loaded here today and I can assure you that the maritime community has greatly been impacted in Cross River.”

On his part, the Captain of the vessel, Xin Jian, said it was an easy sail from China to Nigeria, adding that every navigational assistance he needed was fully provided.

cool

This is great. Diversification is the key to vibrancy in a pluralized nation like ours. Regionalization is sacrosanct and the way to go,as it would afford each regional entity to compete healthily and vigorously in developmental drive.

Any seaport in the same Nigeria having different activities from Lagos port is not a port......

Some of you talk like mumu.

Do you think it is all ports in USA or UK that have the same traffic?

Most of you think it is the ports that make a society.

No, it is the people.

Issues of corruption are enormous and complex. Aside the north that does not have the natural potential other regions should have a functional port.

If I have my warehouse in SS/SE I have no business shipping my goods to Lagos

Once in a blue moon these people that have crippled the growth of all major Sea Ports in the South South will direct a large ship to berth at the Port just for cheap political publicity undecided undecided


A government that will harness the benefits of all the major seaports in the country is what sensible Nigerians are clamoring for this time around, your cheap political effacing will not sway us this time around.


Vote Wisely!!

Other ports should be functional. We need this to decongest Lagos and also spread development.
