NCS West Africa Limited announces Nigeria launch

Nautical Control Solutions (Fueltrax), has announced launch of the new business entity NCS West Africa Limited (NCS WA) in Nigeria located in Lagos and Port Harcourt. NCS WA provides in-country presence and support for clients in Nigeria and surrounding areas using Fueltrax solutions.

There is a growing need for dedicated local support for the users of Electronic Fuel Management Systems (EFMS) in Nigeria. NCS WA will be the first - ever subsidiary for Nautical Control Solutions, LP, the makers of Fueltrax, and will provide the first EFMS maintenance and calibration facility in West Africa.

A head office has been established in Victoria Island, Lagos, with a facility in Onne, Port Harcourt. The services to be offered at the Onne facility include a turn-key calibration process for Coriolis mass flowmeters, which will allow for Fueltrax meters to be calibrated locally to ensure that instrument measurement is accurate and within the required limits. Providing this service locally will help clients to reduce overall business costs by minimizing system downtime and

associated costs of out-of-country calibration options. Periodic calibration is required in areas where high quality and safety standards remain mission-critical to operatives.

Fueltrax currently operates on over 130 systems on vessels in offshore Nigeria. International Oil Companies (IOCS) in West Africa are driven by the need to demonstrate compliance and ensure fuel accountability. IOCS require the installation of EFMS, such as Fueltrax, on vessels in West Africa to achieve this goal.

Fueltrax maintains its position as the market leader in West Africa and around the globe. The development of NCS WA heightens its services in Nigeria, by delivering additional

assurance and through advanced services.

“I recall our Nigeria clients requested for an in-country presence, and we promised to deliver that at the Fueltrax Symposium held in Lagos in June 2018. We are proud to say we

have now fulfilled that promise. This also demonstrates our quest to be closer to our clients. With this in place, we will maintain Fueltrax uptime for our Nigeria vessel operators, assist them to meet their client’s needs, and carry our local and regional vessel owners along as we lead the global Electronic Fuel Management sector,” Bene Okorie, West Africa Operations Manager, NCS WA, said. support calibration
