Air, sea and road from Lagos, Tin Can, Onne and Lekki to Europe, Asia, the USA and the Middle East. We manage your exports end-to-end — factory to final destination.
Nigeria — Africa's largest economy — ships through Lagos, the busiest commercial port complex in West Africa, with Apapa and Tin Can Island handling containers and the new Lekki Deep Sea Port adding deepwater capacity for direct intercontinental services. Onne near Port Harcourt serves the oil, gas and project sector. Air gateways at Lagos (LOS) and Abuja (ABV), and the ECOWAS road network, connect Nigeria's commodity and manufacturing base to every major market.
From Nigeria, sea freight reaches North Europe in 14–20 days, India in 18–24 days and China in 28–35 days; air cargo reaches the European hubs in about a day; and road freight links the ECOWAS region in 2–5 days.
