Hapag-Lloyd will introduce a new Street Turn Charge (STC) in Nigeria from 1 October 2026.
The charge will apply to containers moved under street turn arrangements in the country.
A street turn allows an import container to be directly reused for a local export shipment under merchant haulage bookings.
Charges vary by container type
For a 20-foot dry container, the new charge will be NGN 15,000 per container. The rate for a 40-foot dry container will be NGN 20,000.
Reefer containers will face higher charges.
The STC will be NGN 45,000 for a 20-foot reefer and NGN 60,000 for a 40-foot reefer.
Charge also covers triangulation
Hapag-Lloyd said the charge will also apply to triangulation arrangements.
This occurs when import on-carriage is combined with export pre-carriage. Both movements are then completed as one trip by the subcontractor or trucker.
The new charge applies to all containers moved under these arrangements in Nigeria from 1 October.
