An insider revealed to Reuters that the company expects operations to resume at the terminal in January 2021.

    For over 50 years now that part of the Atlantic Ocean was re-named the Bight of Benin. It used to be the Bight of Biafra before the civil war.
    Qua Iboe Terminal is in Akwa Ibom State and so it is in the South South (Niger Delta) Region and not in the South Eastern Region.

      so sad, it is of best interest if the company can engage their disengaged contractors that was dropped due to the pandemic earlier this year as this will go a long way to mitigate such incidence to occur. This is where division and specialization of labour comes into place. Few work force leads to accident.If their monthly salary is high it should be cut down so as to increase the work force personnel on site.
