The Executive Secretary/CEO of Nigerian Shippers’ Council (NSC), Emmanuel Jime, has said that the Federal Government would soon

set up a shipping sector support fund, implement the zero import duty of vessels and abolish the controversial temporary importation permit imposed by the Nigeria Customs Service .

Jime, who is also the Chairman of the Nigerian Fleet Implementation Committee, said indigenous ship ownerships represent a central core in the maritime industry, adding that if Nigeria must take its rightful place and be recognised as a maritime hub, ship ownership would become topical in the industry.

He said the Nigerian Fleet Implementation Committee has been saddled with the responsibilities of mobilising the public and private sectors in a bid to establish a strong ship ownership community in the country. “We are also saddled with the responsibility to set out action items that would encourage the development of shipbuilding and ship repair facilities. Then we will provide guidelines and recommendations to augment the maritime manpower capacity.”
