Vehicle berth. Vehicle terminal at Aquila, Lekki.
01The feature

Car carriers berth stern to the quay and lower their ramp. Our drivers, trained and insured, drive each vehicle off and park it in a numbered bay. Every vehicle is photographed on all four sides on the way off.

Heavy machinery and trucks roll off on their own wheels or on trailers. Anything that cannot roll is lifted by the mobile harbour cranes from Quay 4.

A covered pre-delivery inspection shed lets dealers wash, check and fit accessories before release, so vehicles leave ready for the showroom.
