For over two decades, Nigerian ship owners have been locked out of funds meant to empower them. Established in 2003 and 2004, respectively, the Cabotage Act and the Cabotage Versus Financing Fund were designed to boost indigenous shipping. Ship owners were mandated to contribute 2-3% of their profits to this fund, with the promise of future access for expansion and business growth."}
