Monrovia – The Management of the National Port Authority (NPA) has negotiated 100% waver for storage and demurrage on abandoned containers at the Freeport of Monrovia. APM Terminals and Shipping Agencies Officials announced their fullest support to President George Weah’s Pro–Poor Government policy and consented to wave the storage and demurrage charges at the close of two separate meetings with the Management of the National Port Authority. According to NPA acting Managing Director, the move is President Weah’s desire to bring relief to consignees who have incurred huge storage and demurrage debts on the abandoned containers being considered under this waver order. Mrs Brown intoned that the action will enhance port operational efficiency, decongest container park at the Port and improve quick turnaround time of container traffic. The waver of 100% charges on storage and demurrage on the overstayed containers comes on the hell of recent intervention by the NPA Management team that resulted to the cancellation of a planed strike action by Customs Brokers.
