UK 🇳🇬 Nigeria Trade Route

Shipping to 🇳🇬 Nigeria

Connecting the UK directly to Africa’s largest economy. Whether you are supplying commercial retail markets in Lagos, supporting the oil and gas sector in Port Harcourt, or shipping personal effects, we provide secure, direct freight forwarding to Nigeria's premier maritime ports.

Direct Routing to Nigeria’s Major Terminals

Nigeria's immense cargo volume requires precise routing to avoid port congestion. We secure premium vessel space from major UK ports, directing your freight to the specific terminal built to handle it:

Lagos Port Complex (Apapa)

The primary commercial gateway. We route high volumes of 20ft and 40ft containers (FCL) directly into Apapa for rapid access to Lagos and the surrounding commercial zones.

Tin Can Island Port

The RoRo and mixed-cargo hub. This is our dedicated destination for vehicle shipping and heavy construction machinery.

Onne Port (Rivers State)

The industrial choice. If you are shipping heavy infrastructure, project cargo, or equipment for the oil and gas sectors, we route directly into Onne to minimize complex inland haulage.

On-The-Ground Knowledge

Navigating Nigerian Logistics

Form M & PAAR Compliance

Shipping to Nigeria requires strict adherence to Central Bank regulations. We guide you through opening your Form M and securing your Pre-Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR) to ensure rapid clearance.

SONCAP Certification

Regulated goods must clear the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SONCAP). We advise on product certification requirements before your cargo leaves the UK to prevent seizure at the port.

Beyond the Port

Our logistics strategy accounts for the final mile. We ensure your cargo is loaded and documented correctly for seamless onward transport from Lagos to Abuja, Kano, or the eastern states.
