The Director General of NIMASA, Dr Bashir Jamoh made the appeal in a statement in Lagos on Wednesday.

He disclosed this during a courtesy visit by the management of the NLNG led by the Managing Director, Dr Philip Mshelbila to NIMASA.

Jamoh also noted that both organisation agreed to set up a working committee meeting regularly to ensure improved liaison between both organisation.

According to Jamoh, a better working relationship between NIMASA and the NLNG would greatly enhance operations in the maritime sector of the country.

He assured the NLNG management that NIMASA would extend the already existing working relationship the Agency had with the NLNG Ship Management Limited (NSML) to the parent body.

According to him, this is a new beginning; our focus should be what is best for Nigeria and not just for the NLNG or NIMASA

While commending the NLNG for providing platforms for Sea time to train Nigerian seafarers, the NIMASA DG noted that the Agency was committed to attaining best global practice, so that certificates issued by Nigeria would be recognised globally.

“We are working to ensure that the Certificates of Competency issued by the Nigerian Maritime Administration are of international standard, and this will make it easy for the NLNG and other international organisations to accept them,” he said.

Jamoh said that the Agency needed the NLNG to boost the nations tonnage.

“NIMASA needs the NLNG, we desire to have Vessels of the NLNG fly the Nigerian Flag, just imagine that vessels of the NLNG are on the Nigerian Registry, our tonnage will increase exponentially, the Nigerian Flag will earn much more respect globally and we will get better recognition,” he said.

Responding, Mshelbila noted that the management of the NLNG was committed to the deliberate indigenisation of the human component of its operation.

He added that they are ready to partner NIMASA to enhance safety and security of lives and assets in the Nigerian maritime domain.

He noted that they are on the same page with NIMASA in terms of capacity development and the quest to ensure Nigeria attains internationally acceptable standards in her operations in the maritime sector.

“We at NLNG have realised that for us to fulfill one of our key vision elements, which is helping to build a better Nigeria, it is important for us to work with all our stakeholders including NIMASA.

“We are aware that NIMASA and our subsidiary, NMSL are working hand in hand for the progress of this country and we desire that same spirit of partnership and collaboration should be extended to the NLNG.

“I believe that for NLNG to fulfill its mission as a business it needs to partner with NIMASA,” he said.

Mshelbila said that they had various training programs, and working closely with NIMASA, being explored by NMSL to provide sea time training for seafarers had enabled the seafarer to fulfill their qualifications and get certifications.

He expressed appreciation to NIMASA for the active management of the activities in the Gulf of Guinea through the Deep Blue Project which was instrumental in attaining the success.

NIMASA and the NLNG have agreed to urgently look into areas including port charges and how best to make Nigerian ports competitive, effective implementation of the Cabotage Law, Stevedoring charges, CoC recognition, and Registration of NLNG Vessels on the Nigerian Ship Registry amongst others.

The Nigeria LNG Limited is jointly owned, as the Federal Government owns 49 percent; Shell gas B.V owns 25.6 percent; Total LNG Nigeria Limited owns 15 percent; and Eni International 10.4 percent, culminating into 51 percent ownership by the NLNG.
