The Port and Terminal Multi-services Limited (PTML) has called on importers of overtime cargoes on its terminal to secure clearance from the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) and take delivery of their cargo directly from the terminal latest July 15 at a discounted tariff rates.

PTML in a public notice sighted by BusinessDay, said it had concluded plans to transfer all overtime Roll-on Roll-off (RoRo) cargo discharged at its terminal located at the Tin-Can Island Port Complex, Lagos on or before June 30, 2018 to the Customs’ facility at the Ikorodu Lighter Terminal.

Overtime cargoes are cargoes that stay in the ports for up to 30 days and more.

According to the public notice, the importers of such cargoes had one last opportunity to secure delivery directly from the terminal at a heavily discounted tariff per unit, which include cars N75,000; vans, N100,000; trucks/trailers/bus N150,000 and plants N300,000.

“This special tariff is effective immediately for only a short period of time. Importers are expected to secure Customs clearance and exit the units latest by 15/07/ 2019. All remaining cargo would be transferred to Ikorodu terminal immediately thereafter,” PTML stated in the notice.

Recall that Nigeria Customs recently said it had commenced the process of evacuating overtime cargoes from the seaports to Ikorodu lighter terminal, beginning with PTML.
