Green Ports Start with Less Gridlock, TTP Tells Dockworkers at SCAN Event
Lagos, June 6, 2026, Trucks Transit Parks Limited, TTP, says cutting congestion around Nigeria’s seaports is vital for sustainable shipping. Efficient truck management protects the environment and improves dockworkers’ daily working conditions significantly.
The company stated this during the 2026 Dockworkers’ Day celebration hosted by the Shipping Correspondents Association of Nigeria, SCAN, in Lagos, focusing on maritime sustainability challenges and solutions.
Speaking on “Green Ports: Sustainable Practices for Dockworkers,” TTP emphasized its Ètò electronic call-up system. The platform promotes order and sustainability along Apapa and Tin Can port corridors daily.
The Managing Director, Jama Onwubuariri who was represented by the General Manager Miss Nancy Nnamdi, said the event theme aligns with TTP’s commitment to sustainable port operations through technology and process improvements.
According to him, sustainability exceeds corporate messaging. TTP embeds it within systems and processes designed to boost efficiency across the entire port ecosystem for all stakeholders involved.
He explained that long truck queues on port access roads waste fuel. This causes higher emissions, environmental pollution, and unnecessary costs for transporters and the surrounding communities.
“Imagine a truck idling in traffic. Engine running, fuel burning, going nowhere. Multiply that by hundreds daily. The cost is time, money, and polluted air we breathe,” he said.
Onwubuariri noted Ètò was built to tackle Apapa and Tin Can congestion. Better traffic management delivers environmental benefits alongside operational efficiency for trucks, port users, and dockworkers.
“Our Ètò platform brings order to chaos. Order is green, it is sustainable. TTP has made port corridors more sustainable by reducing gridlock on surrounding roads,” Ọnwụbụarịrị stated.
Fewer idling trucks mean lower fuel consumption and reduced carbon emissions. This also creates safer, cleaner working conditions for dockworkers who power Nigeria’s maritime trade daily.
“When the system works, everyone breathes easier. Literally,” she added. Dockworkers are essential stakeholders in achieving a cleaner, more efficient maritime sector for Nigeria’s economic future.
Onwubuariri reaffirmed TTP’s commitment to supporting initiatives that promote sustainable port operations. The company prioritizes welfare and productivity improvements across the maritime value chain consistently.
He also commended SCAN for creating a platform to discuss sustainability. The association celebrates dockworkers’ contributions to Nigeria’s maritime industry and encourages continuous stakeholder dialogue on green practices.
