The ports
Where your vessel may call
Apapa
The oldest and busiest port, closest to the Lagos Mainland. Road access can be slow; we time trucks for the evening.
Tin Can Island
Next to Apapa, with several container terminals. Common for Gulf and Asian feeder services.
Lekki Deep Sea
The newest port, built for large vessels. Further east, so trucks to Ogun State take a longer route.

Questions
About ports
Can I choose the port?
The line chooses the port for each service. When booking freight we can prefer lines that call where you want.
Is Lekki Deep Sea slower for Ogun State?
The road is longer, but the port is often less congested, so the total can be similar.
