THE LEGAL LANDSCAPE OF DRY PORTS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR LEGAL PRACTITIONERS: A CASE STUDY OF KANO DALA INLAND PORT
The global trade landscape is transforming rapidly, with dry
ports emerging as critical hubs for enhancing transportation and
logistics efficiency. This study examines the legal complexities
associated with dry ports, using the Dala Inland Port (DIP) in
Kano, Nigeria, as a case study. As dry ports become integral to
supply chains, they present unique legal challenges, including
navigating export controls, customs regulations, trade
agreements, and dispute resolution mechanisms. These
challenges highlight the need for specialised legal expertise to
ensure compliance and optimise operations. Using an armchair
research methodology, this study explores the legal dimensions
of dry port operations, focusing on the DIP. It identifies a
growing demand for legal professionals skilled in addressing the
intricacies of dry port-related regulations. The findings
underscore the pivotal role of lawyers in streamlining trade
processes, mitigating risks, and enhancing the efficiency of
international trade. The study recommends
fostering collaboration between logistics and legal
stakeholders to develop robust legal frameworks tailored to the
unique challenges of dry ports. Additionally, it emphasises the
importance of capacity-building and sensitisation programs to
equip legal professionals with the skills needed to navigate this
evolving landscape. By addressing these issues, stakeholders can
unlock the full potential of dry ports, driving economic growth
and facilitating seamless global commerce.
