Lagos Marine Services

As Nigeria’s commercial nerve center, Lagos serves as a gateway for over 70% of the nation’s import and export activities. At Cargoburg Logistics Limited, we proudly offer specialized marine services in Lagos, combining years of expertise, local port knowledge, and global logistics standards to meet the marine transportation and port service needs of our clients.

Cargoburg has earned its reputation as a trusted freight forwarding and import clearing agent in Nigeria by consistently delivering excellence, transparency, and professional service. Whether you require vessel support, offshore logistics, or container transport, our Lagos marine solutions are designed for businesses that need speed, efficiency, and compliance in their maritime operations.

Why Lagos is Nigeria’s Marine Hub

Lagos is home to two of the busiest and most important seaports in West Africa:

• Apapa Port

• Tin Can Island Port

These ports handle a wide range of cargo types, from bulk commodities and petroleum products to containerized goods and specialized equipment. The city’s coastal location also makes it an ideal base for offshore oil and gas operations, ship-to-ship transfers, and short sea shipping to other Nigerian ports.

With its robust maritime infrastructure, skilled workforce, and strategic importance, Lagos is the heartbeat of Nigeria’s marine logistics network—and Cargoburg is at the center of it all.

From our warehouses, we also arrange last-mile delivery to clients within Lagos, throughout Nigeria, and to regional destinations.

We use best-in-class equipment and eco-conscious techniques to reduce emissions and prevent marine pollution during vessel loading, fueling, or offshore operations.
