Inception:
Hoegh xiamen is yet to berth at Cotonou.
This is getting scary

Abdomox:
Hoegh Singapore just arrived another port.

Inception:
I am already seeing trouble...

The ship was scheduled to berth at cotonue by 12 today. Instead it stopped moving a few miles short of the port. I sincerely hope it is not quarantine issues again.

Update on Hoegh Singapore from my shipper

Dear Valued Customers


See below message from Grimaldi Lines:

We are fully aware of recent difficulties to timely discharge / release cargo in Lagos and we are sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Due to pandemic and emergency period, several of our ships since end March have been obliged to observe 14 days quarantine outside Lagos before berthing. Despite these restrictions have now been waived by Nigerian Authorities, some ships have lost their priority in the queue and still waiting for free berth.

The overall picture has further deteriorated this week due to Nigerian Customs IT issues In the Port of Lagos with and consequent impossibility to resume with normal cargo releasing activity. Unfortunately all this, despite we are permanently in contact with local Authorities to boast the quickest return to standard, is totally beyond Grimaldi control and management .

This is affecting...

• HOEGH SIGNAPORE 0220 (HSI0220): as of today ETA = 05/25/2020

• PRECIOUS ACE 0120 (PRA0120): as of today ETA = 05/16/2020

• LAPIS ARROW 0420 (LAA0420): *** see below...

We wish to also advise that Grimaldi have worked incessantly and all disposal been taken to make sure that everything is back to standard in the shortest terms . On such basis we are very confident that within the next 2 weeks all vessels still waiting for free berth should be able to normally operate.

On the other hand we wish to advise that Grimaldi are obviously sympathizing with Nigerian receivers who in view of the lockdown imposed by Authorities to fight Covid-19 , have been struggling to get to the Port and get their cargo released. We are therefore glad to announce that extraordinary measures will be taken in account to assist receivers , waiving big portions of storage accrued etc . We will revert shortly with additional details.

LAPIS ARROW 0420 (LAA0420) ** Grimaldi has discharged all cargo in Cotonou and will advise vessel details that will load this cargo and ship to Lagos. We will send updates as we receive them.

Imoabung:

oladipuposadeeq:

Bammy2244:
Someone should check Hoegh singapore is possible to arrived today.....because of what I see

Inception:

i dey fear o

ayubaski:
lol, you just saw it, in another few days the date will still change again, is either reduce or increased.

chukel:
Grimaldi has been doing a lot of transloading of recent. These small vessels they don't own usually stops at cotonou. They offload all vehicles there at the mercy of cotonou rats. They wait for their bigger vessels like Grande congo to berth at cotonou and pick up the cars to deliver to Nigeria. Your vehicles will eventually come in with grand guinea. Same thing is happening to lapis arrow

upengineer:
I sent a mail to my shipper in US, my shipper then forward my mail to ACL office in US, this was the response I got
"Covid-19 quarantine causing congestion in the port"

I tire!

You have made 2 very good choices .
All the Peugeot I have ever owned have always been manual.from 504 to 405 then to the 306,so I can't say anything about the automatic transmission.I like the fact that you said you want to keep the car for long.its quite impressive.if you get a very good Peugeot car,u definitely would enjoy it for as long as u want.

I have never owned a Honda Accord,but I have read about how it served someone on nairaland who is still attached​ to it till date.let me invite Fogman to narrate his wonderful experience about the Honda Accord.

Whenever you seek advice about a car,try weigh opinion from people who have actually owned,maintained and used the car in question and not from people who just heard about the car from beer parlor talks.

pstfrancis:
And Hoegh Singapore has refused to berth for over a month. It is well, let's just hope for May that we will get it out

zionmde:
Stop pushing cups

Yeah you right but how many Naija dealer/seller/user would buy a 2010 vehicle from US dealership; ratio 1:1,000,000 .

We all know the reality and it is different from assumption bro.

It is even advisable to buy such year model 2010 from auction accident than buy non-accident dealership which is often high mileage and/or even transmission or engine damaged, if u know you know.

Attached is the latest schedule for Hoegh Singapore for all in anticipation, including myself.

unikazzy:
Oga ....be realistic.....nowhere in Lagos or Abuja that u can get a vehicle registered @ 25,000....when u are not registering Keke napep or a bike

DelTel:
Mmmhhhh I get your point but I usually laugh whenever I see those ad of 2010 rx350 for #6m thou (I have a unit each of 2012 and 2013 rx350 with mouse, excellent condition for #6m) https://www.nairaland.com/5391599/2012-lexus-rx350-vin-070468#81799728 (Op, sorry for advertising on your thread)

I won't want to go deep into the current situation; I don't want to use another man's thread to do that.

DelTel:
2010 Lexus is rx350 not 330.
Both vehicles are not close price-wise: a 'good' rx350 2010 is more than #4m, while a 'good' 2013 Camry should be around #3.6-3.8m (XLE Abit more though).

Camry easier to maintain. Camry more fuel economical (esp as it is available in 2.5L 4plugs) while all Lexus are 3.5L v6 (2010 rx350 precisely), Toyota parts generally cheaper to purchase than Lexus which is the luxurious version.

Tobichuks:
