NIGERIAN AUTHORITIES STEPPING UP ANTI-CORRUPTION ENFORCEMENT AT PORTS AND TERMINALS
Published: 3 February 2022
A Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN) notice has advised of a pre-arrival process that has been put in place for vessels calling at Nigerian ports and terminals to allow for port call progress to be monitored by a Port Standing Task Team (PSTT), along with an MACN Local Help Desk team in Nigeria. This is in response to a new policy from the Nigerian government to ban ships and companies calling at Nigerian ports and terminals from offering gifts and other forms of facilitation payments to officials from the Port Health, Immigration, Customs, and other agencies involved in the boarding and inspection of vessels. Any form of corrupt demand made towards a vessel’s Captain, the shipping company, or their respective appointed stakeholder(s) should be immediately reported to the Port Standing Task Team (PSTT) and MACN Local Help Desk who will provide timely advice on next steps.
Please note that the MACN Local Help Desk is only for MACN members’ vessels, but all other vessels should send their pre-arrival reports and make contact with the PSTT if they need timely assistance. All the following email addresses may be used simultaneously:
