NIGERIAN IMPORTERS AND EXPORTERS TO BENEFIT IMMENSELY FROM INLAND DRY PORTS – FG

Amidst the falling piracy incidence in the Nigerian waters and the Gulf of Guinea since February
when the Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) deployed the Integrated
National Security and Waterways Protection Infrastructure popularly known as the Deep Blue
Project, the Director General of Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety agency (NIMASA), Dr
Bashir Jamoh has expressed worry over the persisting War Risk Insurance on Nigerian bound
cargoes, calling for its removal.
This came as it has been disclosed that Nigeria’s maritime trade is to say the least threatened due to
the increasing war risk insurance premium now being paid by Nigeria-bound vessels.

Although according Dr. Jamoh piracy in the Nigerian waters is waning, stakeholders in the industry are worried that offshore underwriting firms still insist on very high premium to be paid by those conveying cargoes to Nigeria.

War risk insurance is a type of insurance, which covers damage due to acts of war, including invasion, insurrection, rebellion and hijacking. Some policies also cover damage due to weapons of mass destruction. It is most commonly used in the shipping and aviation industries.
It generally has two components: War Risk Liability, which covers people and items inside the craft
and is calculated based on the indemnity amount; and War Risk Hull, which covers the craft itself and is calculated based on the value of the craft. The premium varies based on the expected stability of
the countries to which the vessel will travel, the war risk phenomenon, which was only known to countries with high rate of piracy such as Somalia, also found its way into Nigeria following massive
involvement of youths in the Niger Delta in militant activities.
Speaking during the recent official flag-off of the deep blue project in Lagos by President
Muhammadu Buhari, Dr Bashir said: “Since the deployment of the deep blue project assets in
February, there had been a steady decline in piracy attacks in the Nigerian waters on a monthly
basis.”
“We therefore invite the international shipping community to rethink the issue of war risk
insurance on cargo bound for our ports. Nigeria has demonstrated enough commitment towards
tackling maritime insecurity to avert such premium burden,” Jamoh said.

According to nonprofit Oceans Beyond Piracy’s 2020 reports, the total cost of additional war risk
area premiums incurred by Nigeria bound ships transiting the Gulf of Guinea was $55.5 million in
2020 alone, and 35 per cent of ships transiting the area also carried additional kidnap and ransom insurance totaling $100.7 million.
Insecurity got so bad in the region before the deployment of the deep blue project that global
insurance firm Beazley now offers “Gulf of Guinea Piracy Plus,” a bespoke insurance plan for
maritime crew traveling through the area.
The plan provides compensation for illegal vessel seizures and crew kidnappings even in the absence of ransom demands. It tracks insured vessels on a 24-hour basis, but because the risks are so high, it
limits claims to $25 million.
Effect of this additional spending by shippers is the transfer of the burden on final consumers in form
of higher cost for imported goods
While the deep blue project enters implementation stage, NIMASA will not be complacent as it will
continually evolve strategies including wide consultation with stakeholders and application of cutting edge technology in the fight against maritime insecurity.
