Long truck queues may resurface at the scanning sites in Apapa ports as the management of APM Terminals Apapa Limited, the concessionaire handling Apapa terminals, has threatened to withdraw scanning logistics at the ports, stressing that it may be forced to review the voluntary logistics support it is providing to port users in getting their containers scanned.
E-Biz247 gathered that APM Terminals had a written agreement with the service provider on the number of containers to scan daily depending on their capacity.
When contacted, the Media Adviser to the company, Bolaji Akinola, explained that APM Terminals was not responsible for scanning of containers at the ports or for any delay associated with scanning. He said, “Scanning is the responsibility of Cotecna and Customs.
APM Terminals only intervened by taking over the logistics to bring about efficiency in the system.
