APM Terminals Apapa and Nigerian Railway Corporation have restored the evacuation of containers by rail from the Lagos Port Complex, Apapa as part of efforts to decongest the roads.During the exercise, General Manager, External Affairs of APM Terminals Apapa, Daniel Odibe, said the terminal and the NRC have developed a new Standard Operating Procedure , which would bridge communication gap and, ultimately, lead to more efficient cargo evacuation by rail.
He said: “Our intention when we constructed the rail line in 2013 and connected it to the national line was to provide alternate mode of evacuation of cargoes to customers. Lagos District Manager of NRC, Engr. Jerry Oche, said: “A train is made up of 19 wagons and each can take one 40 feet or two 20 feet containers.
