The new hydrographic and oceanographic research vessel, NNS LANA, procured by the Nigerian Navy, last month in France, arrived Lagos today, to join other navy’s ships in its fight against maritime illegalities in the nation’s maritime environment and its corridor in the Gulf of Guinea.
Speaking at the reception ceremony of NNS LANA, at NNS Beecroft parade ground, Apapa, Lagos, the Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Gambo, disclosed that the offshore vessel would also serve as a revenue generation source to the country and the Nigerian Navy, as it would enhance the capacity of the Service to conduct hydrographic surveys, to provide charting services for safe navigation as well as delivery of maritime security.
