It said that 36 other ships with petroleum products, food items and other consignments were expected in Apapa and Tin-Can Island Ports between Jan. 10 and Jan. 29.

“The expected ships are carrying buck wheat, containers, general cargoes, bulk sugar, gas, salt, frozen fish, empty container, diesel and aviation fuel,’’ NPA said.
