Among   those  who were part of the enforcement exercise were  officers from Regulatory Services Department, Complaints Unit and Public Relations Unit of the Council.

It noted that Cosco Shipping was accused of failing to comply  with an earlier reached agreement at a tripartite meeting held at the NSC Headquarters, Apapa, Lagos.

It said Comet Shipping which is a tenant in the same building with Cosco Shipping Line was affected by the action of the ports regulator, although the Council had nothing against the company.

Following the development, the Group Managing Director of Comet Shipping, Mr P.L.Carrodano  had  pleaded with Shippers’ Council team  and requested for an immediate emergency meeting to resolve the grievances.

The   Council gave  the shipping company (Cosco) a condition that it must write an undertaking   “stating the period of refund, and two cheques be raised in favour of the Consignee and NSC pending when the Liner will clarify the differences from their sister company in Ghana”.

Following this,  Cosco Shipping agreed to all the terms and conditions and to issue two cheques before the end of the month, explaining that the  company’s  financial controller who is to sign the cheque  travelled with the CEO’.
