Basic project information

  • Project need

    The terminal was given as a concession to ensure increased efficiency of port operations, decrease the cost of port services to port users, boost economic activities, and accelerate development. It is expected that the concession will further bring about improvements to the leased properties, as further described in the development plan handed over to the terminal operators during contract execution.

  • Description of asset

    Lease of Terminal 'A' at the Apapa Port Complex, which contains immovable property affixed to the premises and together with the premises. The asset also consists of facilities /areas such as a 46,516m long quay deck with appropriate quay hardware, transit sheds, warehouse, and tugwell house.

  • Description of services

    During the concession term, the lessee is expected to utilize the fixed assets and such other assets to be added to the lease property for: 1. Handling and delivery services for the cargoes, including without limitation stevedoring, loading and unloading of vessels, transporting, sorting, storage, and the procurement, operation, and maintenance of equipment for the foregoing; and 2. Repair and maintenance of the fixed assets. Other services: 1. Warehousing, stuffing and stripping/unstuffing, cleaning and fumigating, and consolidation, and the procurement, operation, and maintenance of equipment for the foregoing; 2. Ship-to-shore handling of supplies for vessels; 3. Oversized cargo handling services; 4. Terminal handling; 5. Inland depot transfers; and 6. All other activities necessary to conduct operations.

  • Rationale for selection of PPP model

    A landlord model was selected to ensure that the government retains the right to supervise daily operations at the ports. The model further prescribes certain obligations that must be carried out by the lessor, such as maintenance, repairs, renewals, and replacements of the quay wall and navigational aids on the premises during the concession time. The lessor is also expected to provide certain utilities and facilities to enhance port operations. Such utilities/facilities include electricity power, water supply, tug boats, and repairs and maintenance of access/common user roads.

  • Stakeholder consultations

    Done in 2005 before the port concessions. Over time, the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission has made efforts to meet with stakeholders to the ports during its periodic monitoring visits. These stakeholders include public sector officials, National Assembly members, terminal operators, and port users.

     

    SUMMARY OF STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT ON THE REVIEW OF PORT CONCESSION CONTRACTS

    The Commission in May, 2015 recommended the review of the port concession contracts signed by the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) in 2005/2006 with Port Terminal Operators in Apapa, Tin-Can Island (Western Ports), Onne, Port-Harcourt, Warri and Calabar Ports (Eastern Ports). The NPA on 2nd March, 2017 informed the Commission that it has initiated the review of the port concession contracts with terminal operators.

    The Nigerian Ports Authority set up an Inter- Agency Committee which was inaugurated on 16th May, 2017 following mutual agreement by the parties to review the contracts with the aim of improving on the Management of the port terminals.

    The ICRC was nominated as a member of the Committee among other stakeholders (The Federal Ministry of Justice, Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) and Federal Ministry of Transportation). Several meetings and interactive sessions were held by the Committee to review the contacts under three thematic areas of – Legal Issues, Administrative Issues and Operational Issues in the contract. The Committee visited all the port terminals in the Eastern and Western parts of the country between 12TH – 15TH December 2017 to carry out an on-the-spot assessment of the terminals and engaged with the operators on the contract review.

    The Committee received technical support from the World Bank through its Consultants - (MBTS) which assisted the Inter-Agency Committee on the review exercise.

    Current Status

    The parties met and negotiated the contract clauses reviewed and other essential issues which were considered during the review exercise. A draft supplemental agreement was prepared by NPA and sent to the Federal Ministry of Justice and the ICRC for review. The ICRC concluded its review of the supplemental contracts in May, 2020 and forwarded its views to NPA for consideration. Some of the issues considered during the review exercise were:

    1. Removal of Wrecks from the channels
    2. State of Marine Services and security
    3. Total size of the Terminal land handed over to operators – need for the original map of the premises to be given to all operators
    4. The impact of the standard gauge railway lines which will pass through the port terminals in Apapa and Tincan Island Ports. Operators sought for compensation over reduction in operational spaces, downtime of operations and demolition of structures.
    5. Performance assessment Issues: the stakeholders agreed that the operational benchmark will be based on TEUs and total throughput handled by each terminal
    6. Adherence to Dredging Plan by the Lessore
    7. Submission of Performance Bond by operators
    8. Insurance of the terminals’ Assets
    9. Payment of Lease fee in US Dollars  
    10. Provision of Scanners at the ports by the Nigerian Customs Service
    11. Inclusion of certain clauses in the contracts after expiration of the current term  such as Handback Guarantee, Appointment of Independent Expert, performance measurement, feedback mechanism, etc.
