Does the law of Nigeria allow the operation of a Secure Anchorage for vessels by a private firm? “From what I see, NPA took that decision on-behalf of the ship-owners who use the Secure Anchorage. Do you know that every day, every ship that uses the Secure Anchorage pays $2000 daily? I think the NPA has done the right thing by stopping the Secure Anchorage.”Also speaking on the Secure Anchorage cancellation, President of the Nigerian Ship-owners Association (NISA), Aminu Umar stated that a privately managed secure anchorage is wrong. There are tow anchorages in Lagos, the Secure Anchorage run by OMSL Limited and the Lagos anchorage run by NIMASA.
