Abstract

If Nigeria's economy is essentially import based, then the issue and fact that her infrastructure for industrial development and export are grossly underdeveloped, when the nation is having abundant national mineral resources to improve on her foreign earning, being a maritime and oil producing nation, Nigeria is not gaining enough from this natural resources due to the poor position of policy guiding the shipping trade and oil business. In this research work emphasis was laid on indigenous shipping operations in the areas of cargo oil shipment (importation and exporting) with the necessary policy guiding the operation in the business i.e. the National Shipping Policy Act of April, 1987 and the United Nation Conference on Trade and Development (UNTAD) code of conduct on conference lines and the role of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in area of oil shipment as defined by the NNPC policy on oil transportation by sea. Emphasis on the demerits of foreign shipping lines, continued domination of the shipping trade particularly in area of oil cargo; the challenges, prospect and the need of indigenous participation in oil shipment business, that Nigeria can use at the benefit of balance of payment was researched. While, the foreign shipping lines and operators continue to dominate the oil shipment trade in Nigeria even at the turn of the 21st century, Nigeria's corporate policy on shipping especially as it affects her indigenous operations remains hazy and at best epileptic. This research work in addition unraveled some of the policy and action that have kept Nigerian Indigenous Shipping Companies in a perpetual state of near paralysis and how such avoidable trends could be reversed in favour of growth and development of the Nation in general.
尼日利亚土著船东参与石油运输的挑战与前景
如果尼日利亚的经济基本上是以进口为基础的,那么她的工业发展和出口基础设施严重不发达的问题和事实,当这个国家拥有丰富的国家矿产资源来提高她的外汇收入时,作为一个海洋和石油生产国,尼日利亚没有从这种自然资源中获得足够的收益,因为指导航运贸易和石油业务的政策地位不佳。在这项研究工作中,重点放在货物石油运输(进口和出口)领域的土著航运业务上,并以必要的政策指导业务的运作,即4月的《国家航运政策法》。1987年和联合国贸易和发展会议(贸发会议)关于会议线的行为守则和尼日利亚国家石油公司(尼日利亚国家石油公司)在石油运输领域的作用,尼日利亚国家石油公司的海上石油运输政策规定。强调外国航运公司的缺点,继续主导航运贸易,特别是在石油货物领域;研究了本国参与石油运输业务的挑战、前景和必要性,尼日利亚可以利用这些业务实现国际收支平衡。即使在21世纪之交,外国航运公司和运营商仍在尼日利亚的石油运输贸易中占据主导地位,但尼日利亚的航运公司政策仍然模糊不清,尤其是影响到其本土业务的政策。此外,这项研究工作还揭示了一些政策和行动,这些政策和行动使尼日利亚土著航运公司永远处于近乎瘫痪的状态,以及如何扭转这种可避免的趋势,有利于整个国家的增长和发展。
