Navy arrests vessel for violating IMF, NIMASA regulations

“Consequently, after the completion of the preliminary investigations, the Nigerian Navy under the watch of the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Subair Gambo directed the Flag Officer Commanding Central Naval Command to hand over the vessel to NIMASA through the Commander, NNS Delta.”

Musa noted that the essence of the handover is a testament to the Nigerian Navy’s position in continuous policing of the Nigerian maritime domain and the synergy and collaboration with other maritime stakeholders. Also speaking while taking over the arrested ship from the Navy, the District Surveyor of NIMASA, Central Zone, Mr Oyadiran Joshua Oyeniyi, who represented the Zonal Coordinator said that NIMASA will scrutinise the naval report on the seized ship and sanction owners appropriately, if infractions were detected.

The NIMASA official said, “Having taken over the vessel from the Nigerian Navy, we have to inspect the ship, and look at the report of the Nigerian Navy about the ship. We have to carry out our own inspection. And if we find out any infraction, we’ll sanction the vessel owners. It’s only after then that we can release the ship to the owners.”All rights reserved.
