Stakeholders to discuss maritime operation challenges at NIMS

Stakeholders in the maritime sector are set to deliberate on challenges around maritime businesses, policy and operations in the country at the second edition of the Nigeria International Maritime Summit (NIMS).

The summit, according to a statement by the Governing Board of the NIMS, is scheduled to hold from July 5 to 6, 2022.

According to the board, a summit is a whole-of-value-chain event aimed at leveraging the Nigerian maritime industry’s diverse strengths to unlock economic potential through collaboration.

The board said IMS sets the agenda and offers solutions for maritime business, policy, and operations in Nigeria as well as promotes a strategic and practical approach to policy implementation and decision-maker accountability.

According to the board, the event has been curated to sustain the massive acclaim achieved by the first edition of the event in 2021 and consolidate on the event’s foothold as the go-to location for maritime business in Nigeria.

The board said the event will incorporate all the highlights that elevated the inaugural event as a key maritime industry fixture.

The board also noted that apart from the high-level sessions that will touch on the most important issues affecting operations and policy, the event will feature a maritime industry exhibition dedicated to the promotion of Nigerian and international maritime and related businesses.

The board further noted that networking will also feature strongly to boost business-to-business and business-to-government interactions and deals.
