Managing Director of JPS, Mr. Simon Travers stated in Lagos at a press briefing, said that JPS has engaged more staff during the recession period. 

He said that though the terminal is restricted to number of vessels to berth at the terminal, there is the need for the management to be more proactive and productive in ensuring ships calling at the facilities spend lesser time.

He also used the opportunity to show its various stakeholders at the meeting before the briefing an award bagged by the terminal, The "European Quality Award " for the most improved terminal in terms of productivity and quality.

The terminal operator boss maintained that based on cargo throughput to Nigeria,the JPS has been the busiest in Nigeria in terms of bulk cargo adding that the award received by the terminal operator is very important because of the world class recognition involved.  


He said that the company has embarked on  e-banking for its clients,in order to reduce the number of human traffic at the terminal. 

Emphasising on how to improve on its performances,he noted that "we are developing all the time and the next stage of our development is to actually make the productivity of our vessels reducing from three, four, and five days for berth to one or two days to make us get more vessels at berth 

In line with the terminal operators performances overtime,the MD  pointed out that "our vision is to ensure that JPS is the best bulk terminal in Nigeria and we are starting right here to make this place bigger. 

"We have to put in place new standards,we need to go green,we need to be more effective and more productive and that is what we want to do and this was why we manage to secure this award" 

While addressing journalists against the backdrop of the international honours, Travers noted progress made by JPS was collated by the monitoring unit of the European Committee.


The Managing Director said that the concessionaire has been able to invest in staff training and facilities,which according to him is the vision of the company on where it will be position in five years to come.
