Port profile

Shipping into Lagos (Apapa) — what to know

Africa's largest cooking-oil discharge — 350,000+ MT/yr Nigeria-wide. Apapa terminal handles the bulk of the palm-olein import volume; congestion and demurrage are real cost factors that reward disciplined slot booking and clean documentation at origin.

Terminal handling

Apapa Wharf is Lagos's primary container terminal for cooking-oil cargo. Discharge runs 7-12 days from vessel arrival depending on yard congestion and the importer's clearing agent's documentation readiness. Demurrage starts at day 7-10 free time; storage runs USD 35-50 per TEU per day after free time. Clean documentation handover at vessel arrival keeps demurrage at zero in 80 percent of our shipped containers.

Maersk Line, MSC, CMA CGM, and Hapag-Lloyd all run weekly direct-rotation services Port Klang → Lagos with 32-day transit. The dominant Lagos lanes are MEX1 (Maersk) and AE7 (MSC); both call Apapa weekly. We book against the next-available vessel for any signed PI.
