The Nigerian Association of Master Mariners has kicked against the approval of the controversial Secure Anchorage Area operated by a private company- Ocean Marine Services Limited , saying the deal was a contravention of international maritime laws.
The OMSL implements the contract in conjunction with the Nigerian Navy. OMSL provides the fast moving boats while the Nigerian Navy supplies the manpower to man the boats. Addressing a press on the development in Lagos yesterday, the President, NAMM Capt Tajudeen Alao, said the SAA contract is making Nigeria look ridiculous to the rest of the world
The master mariners association warned the senate from setting dangerous precedents that other companies could spring up and exploit in the future. “And when he comes into anchor, the prerogative of its security is the responsibility of Nigerian government, it should not be fan out to anybody, the ship will pay it’s port dues and NIMASA levies, why are we asking the ship to pay for protection when it is our duty to provide the protection” he said
