In an effort to make Onitsha River Port functional, and to decongest the Lagos Ports<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) is to engage the services of <\/span><\/span>Akewa<\/span><\/span> Colmar Terminal Limited (ACTL) to move containers from Lagos Ports to Onitsha River Port via <\/span><\/span>Burutu<\/span><\/span> Port in Delta State.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The idea of hauling containers via <\/span><\/span>Burutu<\/span><\/span> Ports to Onitsha River port is to deliberately avoid the two small bridges <\/span><\/span>of <\/span><\/span>Gbarekolo<\/span><\/span> and <\/span><\/span>Bumandi<\/span><\/span>. \u00a0<\/span><\/span>Because <\/span><\/span>the two bridges are too tiny and shallow for sea moving badges or vessels to ply <\/span><\/span>through, <\/span><\/span>that is why the company (ACTL) is considering the<\/span><\/span> route from<\/span><\/span> Lagos Ports to <\/span><\/span>Burutu<\/span><\/span> P<\/span><\/span>ort then to Onitsha<\/span><\/span> River P<\/span><\/span>ort as final destination.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Managing Director of NIWA Chief Dr. George <\/span><\/span>Moghalu<\/span><\/span> disclosed that <\/span><\/span>NIWA is targeting about 1,000 containers to<\/span><\/span> be hauled per trip from Lagos Ports to Onitsha River Port <\/span><\/span>within the<\/span><\/span> maximum <\/span><\/span>duration <\/span><\/span>of 4 days.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The MD also added that NIWA is engaging Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA) and other stakeholders to facilitate the commencement of the Cargo haulage.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier, the Chairman of <\/span><\/span>Akewa<\/span><\/span> Colmar Terminal Limited (ACTL) Chief Kenneth <\/span><\/span>Donye<\/span><\/span> during the proposal defense at NIWA Liaison Office Abuja before the Management <\/span><\/span>team of NIWA, <\/span><\/span>expressed the readiness of his Company to partner with NIWA in carrying out this noble and historic transshipment from Lagos Ports via <\/span><\/span>Bu<\/span><\/span>rutu<\/span><\/span> Port to Onitsha River Port as final destination.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
