Stakeholders in the maritime industry have said that the government should not be involved in the procurement of port scanners but should leave such business to private operators.
“It’s not proper for the government to fix scanners. Globally what is acceptable is terminal operators provide the handling and verification. The MPS in Ghana provided scanners, weighbridges and all that. “If the container is scanned for delivery, and they discover some discrepancies, that is when the container may be subjected to questions and transferred to another area for further examination.
The President, Shippers Association, Lagos State, Mr Jonathan Nicol, echoing the problem of delay at the ports said that while scanners were meant to reduce physical examination, Customs officials still kept containers waiting, insisting on conducting manual searches.
