The Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria on Thursday protested against non-compliance of International Oil Companies to the Stevedoring regulations issued by the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency. During the protest at the APM Terminals, Apapa, Lagos, the placard-carrying workers shut disrupted operations at the terminal by shutting down the entry and exit gates. Reacting to the protest, the Nigerian Ports Authority tweeted that ETO (Electronic Call-up for trucks) ticket for cargoes bound for the AP Moller Terminal in Apapa has been suspended. The agency tweeted, “Following a dispute with the management of AP Moller Terminals at the Lagos Ports Complex, Apapa, members of the Maritime Workers Union have today, April 15, disrupted operations at the terminal. “The authority hereby urges stakeholders to please take note, as ETO tickets will not be issued to APMT bound cargoes.”
