As of today, Nigeria is a full member of the International Chamber of Shipping, after being an associate partner since 2019.
It is the first African state to join the ICS Board of Administration, as Nigerian Chamber of Shipping president Andy Ischei put it.
He said that the Nigerian Chamber of Shipping would enthusiastically embrace this new position, using their unique African expertise to build a bridge between ICS and African shipowners and operators in order to expand the geographical area of ICS’s sphere of influence.
