The National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders has commended Rolling Gazing Bonded Terminal for its operational standards, noting the facility can improve cargo efficiency and reduce port congestion.
NAGAFF’s Trade Advocacy Committee gave the commendation Thursday during a nationwide inspection of licensed bonded terminals. NAGAFF Founder Dr. Boniface Aniebonam led the delegation.
Aniebonam lauded the terminal’s automation, cargo handling infrastructure and security systems. He observed the facility reflects the standard required to strengthen trade facilitation and address logistical challenges.
“The infrastructure is available, the equipment is functional, and the operators are fully prepared for business,” Aniebonam stated.
He explained that bonded terminals were established to complement seaport operations by receiving cargo transferred from mother ports, thereby decongesting ports and improving delivery timeline.
Committee Head Dr. Increase Uche disclosed the terminal is adequately equipped and shows strong commitment to service delivery. He added the facility can evolve into a major logistics hub due to its location and expansion capacity.
Operational Manager Stanley Enoma revealed the terminal runs TOS and EDI platforms and is expanding capacity to 5,000 TEUs.
NAGAFF affirmed the assessment will continue at other bonded terminals to identify gaps and promote efficiency across the maritime sector.
