published a release about the latest situation at the Port of Lagos, Nigeria.
German shipping company Hapag-Lloyd says current waiting times for a berth in APMT terminal in Apapa, Nigeria, is more than 25 days, while for TICT terminal (Tincan Island) waiting times exceed 10 days.
These operational delays are heavily affecting Hapag-Lloyd’s two services, MIAX and MWX, which have calls at both terminals in their long-term schedules.
Hapag-Lloyd, said that it is continuing to take measures for each vessel approaching the port of Lagos in order to minimise the impact on its customers .
If a decision to omit APMT terminal is taken, the cargo will be discharged at TICT terminal and further transferred to KCT terminal by dedicated barge service on Hapag-Lloyd account and arrangement, where customs clearance of Apapa cargo is possible.
