Sea freight questions
How long does sea freight to Lagos take?
It depends on the origin port and sailing. Allow several more days after berthing for clearance and delivery, and longer for shared containers.
Should I ship a full or shared container?
Past about 13 to 15 cubic metres, a 20ft usually costs less than sharing. Below that, sharing is often cheaper. We can price both.
Which Lagos ports do you use?
Apapa and Tin Can Island.
Do you handle shipping agency for vessels?
Yes: ship handling agency, vessel husbandry, chartering and brokerage.
