CHAPTER ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Nigeria
is indeed one of the greatest maritime nations of the world; this is
confirmed by both the local maritime operators and foreign maritime
operators. Ports are supposed to be security zones and policed as such
to prevents crimes mainly theft, smuggling among sabotage attacks,
stowaway.
In olden days, theft as merely limited to petty pilferage and broaching of cartons by Dockers only tilling their pockets that would neither attract attention nor cause appreciable loss to the cargo consignee. The crime latter escalated to piracy onboard vessels at anchorage. Crews were violently robbed and cargo stolen, with some measure of success in checking piracy at anchorage, attention shifted to the ports proper.
There are many security agents both conventiona1l recognized law
enforcement agents and the fadeless ones purporting to be government
officials seeing to the general security of our ports These
notwithstanding the ports are being easily accessible to a multitude of
hoodlums now popularly known as “what rats” and syndicates of other
malefactors actors who have made the ports their homes.
They vandalize the lighting system to enable them carry out their natural and notorious activities.
Any
degree of crimes can now be perpetrated by these hoodlums acting in
cohorts with some of the security agents, and port official. Crewmembers
going ashore are sometimes violently attacked and robbed within and
outside the ports.
Cargo theft has grown from breaking any types of package within the ports to complete disappearance of container out of the ports.
Cargos are being successfully cleared from the port by spurious
owners. Ships are boarded by unauthorized persons who steal both cargoes
and ship property in1uding those relate to safety. What a criminal act!
Vehicular cargoes are more vulnerable to plunderage because of the
attention they attract. They are loaded with some goods that are not
made parks where they normally await clearing. They are securely locked
and then keys are handed to security officials for safety. But most of
these vehicles with or without undeclared goods are mysteriously opened
and their valuable parts are stolen
Clearing of cargoes is a process
which the shippers, freight forwarded and consignees thinks is as
difficult as the head of the camel having to pass through the eye of1the
needle The customs long room is being made too “long” for clearing
agents Problems with all department involved in the clearing start from
the usual indifferences to work, the officials thinking that they are
doing the agents favour The agents must “co-operate” with the officials,
otherwise their entries will either be unnecessarily delayed further or
completely lost in the labyrinth of bureaucracy Having survived the
voracity these official and the goods released the clearing agent face
the cast ordeal of having to “settle” all other security agents and
officials even with authentic release documents Some of the security men
still go outside the ports to intercept and tort the consignee for
“settlement” Coupled with factors like high port tariffs, port
insecurity is now causing Nigerian ports serious loss of clientele to
neighbouring ports. Lome and Cotonou for example, although in charter
parties and ordinary contracts of affreightment where carriage of goods
by sea Act 1971 does no apply to the operating bills of lading. Ship
owners can exclude liability for loss of or damage to cargo arising from
piratical acts generally the Act (COGSA “71”) does not provide such
that Nigeria has joined the club of port stigmatized as dangerous in
insurance circle. Consequently, ship owners and shippers pays higher
premiums for ships and cargoes, a burden that is ultimately passed to
the public consumers.
If Nigeria must grow both politically and economically, there are needs for an efficient and effective security system for safety of cargoes id ship including the crews. There should be both the activities of the appropriate authority and the private sectors to ensure that security at the port be maintained.
