Import & Export

General Cargo

Africa Port Services provides reliable general cargo services in Nigeria for a wide range of imported and exported goods. Whether cargo arrives by cargo vessel, container ship or another type of commercial vessel, our team coordinates the operation from port arrival through to onward transportation.With extensive experience in Nigerian ports, we combine local knowledge with practical logistics support. As a result, clients have one local partner for their vessel and cargo operations.

General Cargo Handling

General cargo can include many different types of goods. These range from individual packages and pallets to machinery, steel products, bagged goods and other commercial cargo.

Each shipment has different handling requirements. Therefore, Africa Port Services works closely with terminals, stevedores, customs, transporters and receivers to coordinate each stage of the operation.

Our support can include vessel coordination, cargo discharge, customs clearance, storage and onward transportation.

Cargo Vessel & Port Operations

Efficient coordination is essential when a cargo vessel arrives at a Nigerian port. Delays during discharge or clearance can affect both the vessel and the final delivery of the cargo.

Africa Port Services supports the operation from arrival until completion. In addition, our ship agency team can assist with port formalities, documentation and communication with the relevant local parties.

Whether the shipment arrives on a conventional cargo vessel ship operation or as containerised cargo, our focus remains the same: keeping the operation organised and moving efficiently.

Container Ship & Containerised Cargo

Containerised cargo forms an important part of international trade through Nigeria. Therefore, we also support shipments arriving by container ship at Nigerian ports.

Our team can coordinate the local requirements for each ship container, including customs procedures, terminal release and transportation.

Once the container has been released, we can arrange onward delivery to a warehouse, factory or other destination. This provides clients with a coordinated solution beyond the port itself.

From Vessel to Final Destination

Our involvement does not have to end when the cargo leaves the vessel. Instead, Africa Port Services can coordinate the next stages of the logistics chain.

Depending on the shipment, our services can include customs clearance support, freight forwarding, local haulage, warehousing and final delivery.

Furthermore, combining these services under one local partner reduces the number of parties a client needs to coordinate.

General Cargo Logistics Across Nigeria

Africa Port Services supports cargo operations through key Nigerian ports, including Lagos, Onne, Port Harcourt and other maritime locations.

From a single ship container to larger general cargo shipments, our team can coordinate solutions based on the requirements of the cargo.

In addition, our experience in ship agency and port operations allows us to support both the vessel and the cargo. This creates a more integrated approach to logistics in Nigeria.
