What are the Disadvantages of Water Transport?

Exam Success Tip
When answering questions about disadvantages, always use the Nigerian context. Mention specific Nigerian ports (Lagos, Port Harcourt, Calabar), local currencies (Naira), and real challenges like Gulf of Guinea piracy. WAEC examiners reward candidates who show understanding of local applications, not just theoretical knowledge.
