Eight ships are waiting to berth in Lagos ports, three of which contain petrol.
The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) said this in its publication – `Shipping Position’, – a copy of which was made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Lagos.
NAN reports that the document noted that five other ships would berth with containers, base oil and bulk fertiliser.
Thirty one ships laden with petroleum products, food items and other goods are, however, expected to arrive Apapa and Tin-Can Island ports in Lagos from Feb. 9 to Feb. 27.
NPA said that the expected ships contained buck wheat, containers, base oil, steel products, bulk salt, bulk sugar, general cargoes, empty containers and petrol.
NAN reports that 18 other ships are at the ports discharging general cargoes, buck wheat, empty containers, bulk gas and soya beans. (NAN)
