Following the directive of the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Mr. Adegboyega Oyetola, the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) says it is poised to implement the Electronic Call-Up System at the Onne Port Complex, as approved by the Federal Executive Council.

The Managing Director/CEO of the NPA, Dr. Abubakar Dantsoho, expressed his readiness to implement the automation of truck traffic when the Executive Team of Callup Technology Services Limited and Forge Concepts Limited, the operators of the electronic solution, paid a pre-implementation visit to the NPA headquarters in Lagos.

Dantsoho said: “In line with the directive of the Honourable Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Alhaji Adegboyega Oyetola, we are poised to provide the support necessary to fast track the automation of truck traffic for Onne before the end of this quarter.

“We would ensure that the operators structure their information technology deployments in a manner that seamlessly plugs into the Port Community System (PCS) and the forthcoming National Single Window (NSW), while also emphasizing sustainable use of alternative sources of energy.”

The Onne Port Complex, which houses the Federal Ocean Terminal (FOT) and Federal Lighter Terminal (FLT) and is also the largest oil and gas logistics base in West and Central Africa, has in recent times been recording unprecedented growth in vessel and cargo traffic.

Persecondnews reports that Dantsoho was Port Manager for Onne Port Complex from 2020 to 2021, where he spearheaded innovative investor-friendly initiatives responsible for the year-on-year growth being recorded at Onne Port Complex.
