A pre-gate truck park with 153 spaces has been built by the Management of the Lekki Deep Sea Port to guarantee effective and seamless traffic management control at the port.

The Sea port management disclosed this on its official Twitter page on Monday, adding that an integral part of the automated gate system of the port consists of a pre-gate truck park of 2.5 hectares.

“The port gates will have optical camera recognition portals to read the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags on the trucks as they arrive the port.

“It will also contain biometric readers for drivers, gate kiosks to issue pick up and drop off tickets to the drivers and gate arms to allow access/exit for the truckers,” the tweet read.

The management said would have a Vehicle Booking System, an electronic platform for port users to register their intended visits to the port to ensure only authorised entry based on RFID tags and biometrics.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria NAN, the Lekki port is the largest seaport of Nigeria and one of the biggest in West Africa.
