Belgian executives of the Port of Antwerp International have announced their interest in Nigeria’s new Maritime Policy, through improved consultancy between Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) and the Port of Antwerp.

This was disclosed by  Mr Philip Kyanet, Head, Corporate Communications, NIMASA, in a statement, on Sunday, in Lagos after Mr Kristof Waterschoot, Managing Director of APEC-Antwerp/Flanders Port Training Centre and Port of Antwerp International and Mr Mario Lievens, Director at Port of Antwerp International met with the Director-General, NIMASA, Dr Bashir Jamoh.

The NIMASA DG’s meeting with the executives was held at the Nigerian Belgian Chamber of Commerce, Onikan, Lagos where he disclosed that the Port of Antwerp expressed interest in the cooperation, training and improved relationship between both parties and also declared interests in Inland Ports, citing that Nigeria’s proposed National Maritime Transport Policy is being monitored by Belgian investors.

”We believe in Nigeria and we observe that the business climate in Nigeria can be difficult, but there is hardly any country without its peculiar difficulties,” they said.

Reacting to the proposal Dr Jamoh said, ”One area I will like the Belgian private sector to come in is wreck removal and wreck recycling. There is a huge investment opportunity there, and there is also a big room for collaboration. This is more so as the Federal Government is planning a coordinated policy on wreck removal.”

Dr. Jamoh stated that Nigeria Maritime Transport Policy is part of a larger policy to purposed to build alternatives to oil. “The maritime sector is consciously being opened up for investment, by local and foreign investors to build a sustainable blue economy,” he added.
