Hapag-Lloyd notice for Lagos, Nigeria port situation

Current waiting times for berth in APMT terminal (Apapa) is more than 25 days, while for TICT terminal (Tincan Island) waiting times exceed 10 days. These operational delays heavily affect two services, MIAX and MWX, which contain both terminals in their long-term schedules.

In order to overcome this challenge and to minimize the negative effect on all customers using these services, Hapag-Lloyd is continuously evaluating the situation and taking schedule integrity measures for each vessel approaching the port of Lagos.

In case a decision is made to omit APMT terminal, the cargo is discharged at TICT terminal and further transferred to KCT terminal by dedicated barge service on Hapag-Lloyd account and arrangement, where custom clearance of Apapa cargo is possible (this is in particular occurring on MIAX service).
