No fewer than nine ships have arrived at the Lekki, Tin-Can Island and Apapa ports in Lagos, awaiting clearance to discharge petrol, bulk fertiliser, gasoline, aviation fuel and diesel.
According to the Nigerian Ports Authority’s (NPA) publication, Shipping Position, the vessels are among several ships scheduled for operations across the nation’s seaports.
The report also indicated that about 35 ships laden with petroleum products, food items and other goods are expected to berth at the Apapa, Lekki and Tin-Can Island ports between May 15 and May 22.
The incoming cargoes include buckwheat, containers, fresh fish, crude oil, bulk wheat, petrol, base oil, frozen fish, bitumen, bulk sugar, bulk gypsum, bulk salt, gasoline, diesel and general cargo.
The development reflects continued high traffic across Lagos port terminals, which remain key entry points for Nigeria’s imports of fuel, food commodities and industrial raw materials.
