The company asserts that it is the responsibility of buyers, rather than sellers, to address any customs obligations that may arise when containers are domesticated. This clarification follows remarks made by maritime trade consultant Mr. Okey Ibeke, who emphasized the need for transparency in the disposal process during a recent event in Lagos. The shipping line's defense aims to clarify its position amidst the growing scrutiny of container disposal practices.
