The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has concluded plans to reconstruct the collapsed berths at the Rivers Port.
NPA Managing Director Mohammed Bello-Koko who made this known in Port Harcourt yesterday, said the upgrade will boost activities in the Eastern port.
Bello-Koko who spoke during his maiden visit to the port, said NPA has given BUA Terminal, one of the terminal operators, the final approval for the submitted design, which means the construction would commence soon.
According to him, the berths 5 to 8 of the BUA Terminal collapsed years back. “They have really decayed which was why we decommissioned some of them, but the agreement is for BUA to reconstruct some of them,” he said.
For the Ports and Terminal Operators Nigeria Limited (PTOL), he said, the operator has a development plan that involves bringing down some of the shades in the terminal to improve the stacking areas and increase the terminal’s ability to handle more cargoes.
