INTRODUCTION

The management of Cargo in Nigeria has over the years attracted poor patronage as a result of errors inherent in the system.  It is no longer a new thing that loss of customers’ goods is now the order of the day, the reasons are not far-fetched.

Due to this manual procedure involved in Cargo management, clients have no other option than to be at the mercy of these error-prone procedures.

Members of staff of supper maritime one to the registered shipping agencies and a subsidiary of Nigerian ports plc cannot provide their goods that is the nature of the method used in calculating the tonnage to know the amount of money to pay as cargo fees.
