In the suit, PTOL alleged that vessels meant for its jetty were being diverted by the NPA to another terminal concessioned to Integrated Logistics Nigeria Limited (Intels) since October 2013. It prayed the court to stop such diversion. Intels had been joined in the suit on grounds that the outcome of the case would impact directly on its business activities. Striking out the suit, however, Saidu said the NPA Act reserved such matters for the Court of Arbitration, therefore he could not entertain it. PTOL, through its originating summons and vide a motion ex-parte brought before Justice Saidu, had obtained an order of interim injunction on May 20, 2015, restraining the defendants from diverting two vessels and any other vessel meant for its terminal, pending the hearing of the originating summons. Its case is premised on the fact it is the lessee of Terminal ‘A’ Port Harcourt by virtue of a concession agreement between the company and the Federal Government. Under the said agreement, PTOL claimed that it is entitled to receive vessels and cargoes of all descriptions into its terminal. It also alleged that since October 2013, NPA has been diverting vessels meant for its terminal to another terminal concessioned to Intels on the grounds that cargoes and pipes and dismantled rigs are classified as oil and gas cargo.]]>
