There is some confusion as far as, Form M number, and if such documentation required or not. Form M is not required if you are shipping vehicles or personal goods. Nigerian Customs do not allow the re-export of imported goods! Nigeria’s main container port is in Lagos, which handles about just less than 6 million tons of cargo annually. Lagos has two major terminals; Apapa and Tin Can. One of the most modern ports in Nigeria is Port Onne which managed by Multinational Oil companies. We have dealt with Nigerian Customs and NPO ( Nigerian Port Authority) and met a very complicated situation.
The Country of Nigeria is in West Africa and it borders Benin in the west, Cameroon and Chad to the east, Niger on the North, and the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Guinea in the south. Nigeria is one of the largest importers in the US.
Nigerian Port Authority, NPA, manages all of Nigeria’s Ports. In order for them to meet all the international standard and modernization processes, the NPA has decided to offer operating rights of a few terminals to certain private European lines. Under the terms of permit agreements, the government agreed to lease the terminals and transfer operating rights to privates companies for a limited number of years, without forgoing ownership of the land where the port based on. ACL is one of the first steamship lines who has completely taken over management all of their import and export containers in Nigeria. Anytime there is an election in Nigeria, there could be major changes to the import-export rules!
Shipping to Apapa: Port of Apapa is the major port by in Lagos and it is base on the west side of Lagos Island. When shipping to that part in Nigeria, the shipment gets landed either in Apapa or Tin can. Some shippers prefer Apapa and some chooses Tincan. Most of the Ocean Freight carriers offer shipping services to both of these ports but some carriers they either go to Apapa or Tin can.
USG offers full container Ocean Freight to Port of Apapa. Before the year of 2005 the port operation was handled by the Nigerian government but in that year operation management of the port got awarded to Maersk Line for a contract of 1 billion dollars.
Apapa port does not handle roll on roll off service and it has facility only for the containerized shipment. For roll on roll off service, the cars get shipped to Tincan.
There are also other ports we offer to ship to:
– Shipping to Tin can Island: It is the current main port of entry in Nigeria.
– Shipping to Onne (Port Harcourt): The port on the north side of the country.
The Port Harcourt is the capital of the River State and that is in the Niger Delta and is the main hub for the petroleum industry of Nigeria. Recently there are more requests for shipping to Port Harcourt in Nigeria due to the recent business development. Port Onne is the main port of entry in the Harcourt area and is equipped with the most advanced logistics infrastructure.
