TTP Unveils Technologies to Facilitate Cargo Evacuation from Seaports 

The Truck Transit Parks Limited (TTP), operator of the ETO platform, has unveiled plans to introduce a series of new technologies to further facilitate cargo movement from the seaports in 2026.

The Managing Director, TTP, Jama Onwubuariri who disclosed this at a roundtable meeting with the Shipping Correspondents Association of Nigeria (SCAN) in Lagos, said the company has also facilitated the movement of over 900,000 trucks into the Nigerian ports this year.

According to him, the company has deployed technologies to help shippers, transporters, port operators, terminal operators, and the FMCG companies, to improve the quality of their movement, management of their facilities, ensuring that goods, vehicles, and people move quickly and efficiently.“And that is what we have done for the past five years”, he said.

Welcoming the TTP delegation to the SCAN Press Centre in Lagos, the President of SCAN, Mr. Moses Ebosele, said the facility remains open and accessible to all stakeholders. 

Ebosele  urged the delegation—and the wider maritime and transport community—to take full advantage of the Press Centre, noting that, “our doors remain open to all stakeholders within and outside Lagos.”

On the plans for next year (2026), Mr Onwubuariri said: “We are stepping up the system to ensure that new technologies are deployed to reduce human interference, currently we are investing in an Electronics Tagging System. We have also designed what is called an e-column Interchange Transaction Log and the YAD traffic management solution, among others to eliminate delays”.

He said these new technologies are aimed at seamless movement of trucks, guaranteeing cargo for the truckers and enhancing security.

Giving a brief insight into how the Electronic Tagging System works, he said: “The truck has a tag which reads off cameras and e-tag readers that are at the port gate. The driver comes, waits, the barrier opens because his tag is read against the tag reader, and he goes in. So that identity is maintained for that truck all through the life of that truck in maritime business. And you can use that Electronic Tagging System to enter multiple facilities,”

Onwubuariri said the company is also liaising with relevant agencies to integrate ETO into the single window platform which the Federal Government plans to float next year.

However, he disclosed that plans are in the pipeline to extend ETO to other states of the federation.
