APM Terminals Apapa opens digitalised office building

APM Terminals Apapa has commissioned a new digitalised administrative building as part of its US$438 million investment at the Lagos Port Complex Apapa to develop infrastructure, acquire equipment and improve processes at the terminal.

The Maersk-owned port operator said in a statement that the commissioning of the new smart building in Nigeria is in line with the company’s commitment to introducing new innovations to help both shipping lines and landside customers “achieve improved supply chain efficiency and flexibility in a cost-effective manner.”

Keith Svendsen, current APM Terminals’ COO and next CEO, was in Nigeria for the commissioning, saying the new building will set new standards for port operations in the country.

Additionally, he pointed out that the technology embedded in the building is anticipated to improve container handling operations and processing in the terminal, particularly in enabling electronic invoicing, electronic receipts and online payment processes that allow customers to fast-track their documentation.
