Nigerian Maritime Administration & Safety Agency (NMASA)

The provision of Offshore Reception Facilities in Nigerian waters is well overdue and the country is currently failing in its obligations to ratify international treaties and conventions.

In line with NIMASA’s vision, the Agency attempted to address the issue of setting up Offshore Reception Facilities that will be a plus to the transport sector and the Federal Ministry of Transportation has the mandate for the overall articulation and implementation of policies in the Maritime sector of the Nigerian economy.

Irrespective of the introduction of these new regulations, NIMASA has not been able to actualize its obligations of MARPOL 73/78 due to economic and budgetary challenges, hence the agency’s effort in sourcing the PPP procurement option. There’s currently no established OWRF to meet the needs of ships visiting offshore terminals.
