The NRC is to collaborate with Private Sector for the maintenance of the railway lines as well as the major railway stations. Currently, maintenance is carried out by NRC staff using standard manual operation approach which involves one supervising head, one supervising sub-head and six labourers i.e. 1+1+6 for every 6km.
Nigerian Railway Police to be complemented by Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corp (NSCDC). The Standard Manual Operation approach is also used for internal surveillance and security.

PORTS AND HARBOURS
In 2006, the Federal Government of Nigeria carried out comprehensive
Ports Reforms that made NPA the Landlord and Technical Regulator. Delineated the Ports into Terminals and concessioned them to private operators Terminal Operators are now responsible for all aspects of cargo handling and Terminal upgrading under the concession agreement As a result of the Reforms, the overall operational efficiency in the Ports has been steadily improving, and there is appreciable increase in infrastructure provision and maintenance by both the Federal Government and the concessionaires. In specific terms, between 2006 and March 2013, the concessionaires have made investments in: Cargo handling equipment - $475m Terminal development - $450m
For the Nigerian Ports Authority,
The
Rehabilitation of the East and West Moles (breakwaters), Lagos is completed. Rehabilitation of quay walls and quay aprons in Tin Can Island, Warri and Port Harcourt Ports are in progress.

IMPROVING THE DEPTH OF NIGERIAN WATERWAYS TO ACCOMMODATE LARGE CAPACITY VESSELS There is continuous dredging and maintenance of the channels through established Channel Management Companies (Lagos Channel Management Company Limited, Bonny Channel Management Company Limited and the recently established Calabar Channel Management Company Limited) to deepen the channels and the berth areas. Lagos Channel depth by 2010 was about 10metres but now 13.5metres – 14meters while the quay side was 9metres in 2010 but now 12.5metres. Bonny NLNG was 11metres in 2010 but now 14metres. Bonny–Onne was 7.5metres in 2010 but is now 9.5metres. Efforts are now intensified to deepen it to allow for bigger vessels to call. Procurement process is in progress for the Consultancy Services for the Rehabilitation of Breakwaters at Escravos and the dredging of the Warri, Sapele and Koko channels up to the proposed Deep Sea Port at Ogidigbe.
63
REMOVAL OF WRECKS AND DERELICTS In the last 24 months, we have removed 62 critical wrecks from our channels which allowed for the dredging of the channel to accommodate bigger vessels.
Identified 19 more wrecks for removal from the Lagos Channel. NIMASA is embarking on a general wrecks removal exercise to cover a greater part of the Maritime Domain under a ‘NO CURE NO PAY” model involving the Private Sector.

ď ą Procurement
of two additional state-of-the-art Tug boats and two Pilot cutters for safer navigation to complement the existing ones which amongst others have slightly improved the Turn Around Time (TAT).
66
Steps being taken to achieve the 48 Hours Clearance in our Ports
Streamlining the number of Agencies operating in the Ports from 14 to 7 following the approval of Mr. President. Removal of over time containers in the Ports, in collaboration with the Presidential Committee on Ports Decongestion, to create space for throughput. 24 hours Port operations by the NPA and the Concessionaires (Port Operators). NIMASA has commenced 24 hours operations at the Ports. Stepped-up traffic management to enhance human and vehicular movements within and outside the Sea Ports. Arising from the series of Stakeholder meetings, specific tasks with Timelines have been assigned to the following Agencies and Groups to ensure that Cargoes are cleared within 48 hours: TERMINAL OPERATORS a)Positioning of Cargoes for examination must be done within 24 hours; b)The existing approval for progressive storage charges is being reviewed by the Federal Ministry of Transport to remove issues associated with block stacking of containers and to ensure compliance with (a) above.
67
Steps being taken to achieve the 48 Hours Clearance in our Ports NIGERIAN CUSTOMS SERVICE (NCS)
Risk Assessment Report (RAR) must be done within 24 hours, hence the Federal Ministry of Transport is collaborating with

DREDGING THE NIGERIAN WATERWAYS
NPA: CHANNEL DREDGING ACTIVITY AT BONNY
81
THE NIGERIAN INLAND WATERWAYS The nation’s navigable waterways linking more than 20 states and comprising of 12 major rivers, creeks, lagoons, lakes and intra-coastal waters aggregate to a total navigable distance of over 3,800km constituting an important natural resource that offers extensive opportunities for inland water transportation.
Goods are transported over long distances at relatively low rates along the channels.
The Federal Government has completed the capital dredging of the Lower River Niger from Warri (Delta State) to Baro (Niger State) – 572km - to facilitate all-year navigability. The channel runs through major towns such as Warri, Onitsha, Agenebode, Idah, Jamata (Lokoja) and Baro.
Maintenance dredging is currently in progress.
82
NIWA: PROJECTS STATUS Onitsha River Port has been reconstructed, equipped with modern cargo handling equipment and commissioned. The process for the concession of the port is in progress. Baro, Oguta, and Jamata (Lokoja) River Ports are under construction. Baro and Oguta are expected to be completed this year. Procurement Processes are on for the Dredging of River Benue and the construction of Makurdi River Port.

The Federal Ministry of Transport and MAN-Oron are liaising with World Maritime University (WMU) Malmo, Sweden, to improve the curriculum of MAN-Oron in the quest to upgrade the academy into a degree awarding institution. MOU between MAN-Oron and the WMU is being processed.
MAN-Oron is currently accredited by the UK Maritime and Coast Guard Agency (MCGA) to run all mandatory Safety and Security courses required by International practice for Vessel Operators under the Standard Training Certification and Watch-keeping (STCW) 2002 as amended for Vessel Operators.
After consultations with the leadership of IMO, a platform has been created for the placement of marine engineering and deck cadets of MANOron for the requisite Sea-time training in Messrs Immarset UK. MANOron is also working in affiliation with Nautical Institute, London with a view of upgrading its curriculum to meet with the requirements of the various certificate of competency examinations.
The Academy passed out two Lead Marine Auditors through their basic certification to ensure implementation of STCW and Safety of Lives At Sea (SOLAS) which earned Nigeria a place on the IMO white list.
