NPA initiate trucks movement code to ease traffic at Lagos ports
The initiative is designed to ensure that each truck is matched exclusively to its designated empty container, eliminate multiple allocations, improve traffic management and enhance operational efficiency within the port corridor.
The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has introduced a movement code to streamline the movement of empty containers into seaport terminals and reduce traffic congestion caused by container trucks along the Apapa and Tin Can Island port corridors.
The Guardian reported that under the new policy, the movement code will serve as a unique identifier generated by a holding bay for every empty container uploaded to the Electronic Call-Up (ETO) platform.
The code must correspond with the details captured on the ETO system before trucks are granted access to port terminals.
In a notice issued to stakeholders, the NPA said the movement code has become a mandatory requirement for completing the truck-container matching process.
Truck drivers are required to obtain the code from designated holding bays before proceeding to the ports.
According to the authority, the initiative is designed to ensure that each truck is matched exclusively to its designated empty container, eliminate multiple allocations, improve traffic management and enhance operational efficiency within the port corridor.
