About us
An Abeokuta company, at home in the Lagos ports.
Tidewell started in 2009 with one desk in Oke-Ilewo and a simple idea: Ogun State importers should not have to drive to Apapa to find out where their container is.

Approach
What we believe
Clearing goes wrong when nobody owns the whole journey. So every client has one shipment officer, every box has one tracker, and every charge is on one invoice.
We publish our schedule and rates because importers plan better with facts. Example details for this demo.
