The Tin Can Island Port Area Command of Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) on Monday received mobile scanning machines to enhance operations at the port.

According to a statement issued by the command, the move is a “positive milestone in the service efforts to modernise Customs operations at the port, smooth ease of doing business, facilitate trade and enhance security with easier detection of all prohibited imports.”

The command said trained officers on scanning operations will undergo a refresher training to update them on the latest technology.

The Tin Can Island Port Command is the second command to receive the scanner after Onne Port, Rivers State.

The scanner, a product of Nuctech, with model number MT1213DE, was imported from Shanghai in China.
