I know shipping illiterates will fall for this.

The same shipping manifest can also carry KANO as Port of Discharge (PoD). What this means is that customs inspection and other terminal delivery activities will occur at Onitsha.

This doesn’t show that Igbo land is not Landlocked

You totally missed the main point of this thread and the point of the OP.

On the 27th August and 4th September more MEARSK vessels loaded with containers shall leave China direct to Onitsha

NGpatriot:



They are very good at making crooked, deceptive and fraudulent claims. Is it not obvious to intelligent and knowledgeable people that Wild Bravo vessel did not sail to anywhere in the SE.

Not just from Onne to Onitsha even from Lagos

Nigerian maritime agencies are reportedly working out the modalities on how to begin the transportation of containers from Lagos to Onitsha through barges.
This was disclosed by Presidential Media Aide, Tolu Ogunlesi, through a couple of tweets on Sunday night. According to his tweets, the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) is working alongside the Nigerian Shippers Council and the Nigerian Inland Waterways Authority (NIMASA) in this regard.
Ogunlesi’s disclosure comes after the Nigerian Ports Authority announced over the weekend that the biggest container vessel to have ever called at any Nigerian port, was recently berthed at the Onne port in Rivers State.
It should be noted that barges are long flat bottomed boats that are used to convey freights through canals and Rivers
Why it matters:
A recent research analysis by SBM Intelligence, as reported by Nairametrics, revealed that it costs more to transport containers from Nigeria’s Apapa port to local warehouses, compared to how much it costs to do same from South Africa’s Durban Harbour and Ghana’s Tema Port. In specific terms, businesses spend an average of $2,050 transporting containers from Apapa port. This is far more than the $208 it costs to transport containers from Durban Harbour to South African warehouses and the $285 it costs to do same in Ghana.

Now, considering the fact that a significant number of the containers that berth in Apapa goes straight to the South Eastern part of the country, this plan by Nigeria’s maritime agencies is expected to help cut down shipping costs for many businesses.

Transporting containers through barges would also help reduce the rate of accidents caused by trailers transporting containers across the country.

Awol1:


"Now, considering the fact that significant number of containers that berth at Apapa is meant for the Southeast..."

But the Yorubas said they are the highest importers in Nigeria.

Facts seems to indicate the contrary.

No matter how far a lie travels, the truth will catch it up.

Both 'Southeast is landlocked' and 'Yorubas are highest importers' trashed in one article.

Just as they are being trans-loaded to Onitsha via barges, containers destined to Kano will either use Rail coaches or trucks, the idea is the same, customs paper works will take place in Onitsha or Kano and not Lagos as its used to be.

So what are you trying to say The Containers will arrive through Onitsha via River Niger, which is international waterways and can be dredge to contain bigger vessel that can barth in Onitsha direct, this is what we have been saying, for ignorant minds that were saying east is landlocked.

An Hausa man who was that former head of NPA once said back in 2016 that 60% of shipments end up in onitsha. This tells you all you need to know.

Eastern Nigeria is not landlocked but Igbo land is landlocked because Igbos cannot Access the seas that is the gateways to international trade without passing through other places that are essentially non-igbo speaking.

You are dumb, how can big vessel sail to Onitsha when the River isn't dredge

horsepower102:


Wait until they see tiny size of Panama Canal yet the world’s largest shipping containers go through it not to talk of Niger River after its been properly dredged.

horsepower102:


And so that doesn’t make a difference. Go and study international laws on transnational rivers. No one can stop igbos from accessing the open sea if they gain independence. This has been well researched by me and so many others. This is why we are confident we can do it on our own.

The only ones stopping us is you Nigerians scared of your future without us in it.

River Niger transverse other countries so it’s an international waterway.

Onitsha Port is the same as Lokoja Port, Shiroro Port , Makurdi Port, Zungeru Port. .... because they are all landlocked. You can only navigate through dredged rivers. You cannot have direct access through ocean going ships

post=92961567:

That was how you guys were making silly logic that mother vessel can't berth in Onne Port except Lagos ports until they proved you dumb skulls wrong.

myboy2111:

Op is not direct , stop the deception. It is to onne terminal before being loaded in smaller batches to onitsha as being done from Apapa port to Ikorodu . Same way it will be loaded to Lokoja Port, Shiroro Port in the North.
