Demurrage collected by a local shipping agent on behalf of its foreign principal and
deposited in a dedicated account, may be repatriated. This is, however, subject
to payment of the appropriate tax on the amount to be remitted and compliance
with other documentation requirements. In addition, there must be an underlying
agreement between the local shipping agent and the principal, and the vessel must
be duly certified by the Nigerian Ports Authority as having arrived in the country.
Foreign Mortgages
The Nigerian foreign exchange regulations permit the remittance of foreign
exchange for payments in respect of foreign mortgages. The critical documentation
requirements include the mortgage deed in the name of the applicant, evidence
of tax payment in Nigeria, schedule of outstanding mortgage liability and letter of
request from the applicant.
