According to the document, 11 of the expected ships are to sail in with containers while four others will bring in general cargoes.

It said that five ships would sail in with frozen fish, buckwheat and rice while the remaining eight ships would sail in with petrol.

There are hopes this would help to cushion the effect of fuel scarcity in the country.

Meanwhile, the federal government has removed subsidy on petrol. Ibe Kachikwu, the minister for state of petroleum resources said the removal of oil subsidy may not affect the pump price of premium motor spirit (PMS).
