A Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN) notice has advised that Nigeria is stepping up its efforts against anti-corruption at ports and terminals.
Namely, MACN informed 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.
