NPA introduces 72-hour access window for export trucks to avert congestion
The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) says it has opened a 72-hour access window for all export trucks to access designated terminals.
The NPA made this known in a notice to stakeholders dated April 16, titled ‘Important Update: Revised Access Window for left-Pregated Export Trucks,’ issued by the management of Truck Transit Parks Limited (TTP).
According to the agency, the new policy is aimed at improving traffic flow and reducing congestion around the port access roads, and failure to use the window would result in deactivation.
“The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has issued an important
notice for all stakeholders in the port ecosystem. Effective from next Monday,
April 22, 2024, a new policy will be implemented regarding access to the port
(terminal) for left-pregated export trucks,” NPA said.
