Serving All Major Port Cities Across Nigeria

At Cargoburg Logistics, our strength lies in our expansive national coverage. We operate across all major Nigerian port cities, ensuring that wherever your marine equipment lands, our experienced team is ready to take charge. Our services are available at:

Apapa Port and Tin Can Island Port in Lagos

Port Harcourt Port and Onne Port in Rivers State

Calabar Port in Cross River State

We maintain operational teams and freight specialists in each of these locations, working in close coordination with customs officers, terminal operators, and regulatory agencies to ensure every consignment is processed without delays or penalties.

Our nationwide presence also enables us to provide inland haulage services and last-mile delivery from any port to project sites across Nigeria’s coastal and inland regions.

Expert Customs Clearance for Maritime Equipment in Lagos

Importing maritime equipment requires a deep understanding of Nigeria’s regulatory framework, classification standards, and documentation procedures. At Cargoburg Logistics, we specialize in clearing complex and high-value marine cargo such as:

Ship engines and diesel propulsion systems

Navigational electronics and radar systems

Drilling equipment and marine safety gear

Subsea tools and buoyancy modules

How Cargoburg Stands Out in Maritime Logistics

Cargoburg Logistics is more than a customs broker. We’re a fully integrated logistics provider that supports clients at every step—from vessel discharge to on-site installation. Our clients include shipping companies, offshore energy contractors, shipyards, dredging companies, and government infrastructure developers. What sets us apart?

1. Dedicated Marine Logistics Expertise

Few clearing agents in Nigeria possess the technical competence required to handle oversized, irregular, and high-value maritime cargo. Our team has in-depth experience managing time-sensitive shipments for offshore oil and gas fields, shipbuilding yards, and marine research institutions. We ensure accurate documentation and fast processing to avoid port congestion and delivery delays.

2. Advanced Compliance and Risk Management

Nigeria’s import laws are strict, particularly around marine and defense-related goods. Cargoburg keeps abreast of evolving import policies and ensures that all documentation and cargo labeling are in full compliance. Our team works proactively with customs officials and regulators to resolve issues and pre-clear shipments when possible.

3. Real-Time Cargo Tracking and Updates

Our clients benefit from real-time updates on the status of their cargo—whether it’s still at sea, in port storage, or in inland transit. We use advanced tracking tools to provide full visibility and prompt alerts, ensuring our clients remain informed every step of the way.

4. Customized Haulage and Transport Services

Clearing heavy maritime equipment often requires specialized haulage solutions. At Cargoburg, we provide flatbed trucks, low loaders, and crane-equipped trailers to transport machinery safely across Nigeria. Our drivers and logistics partners are trained to handle fragile and oversized items with utmost care.

5. Integrated Warehousing and Storage Options

Sometimes, marine equipment cannot be transported immediately after clearance. Cargoburg provides secure warehousing options at bonded terminals in Lagos, Port Harcourt, and Onne. Our facilities are equipped to store engines, components, and sensitive cargo safely, with 24/7 security and inventory control systems in place.

6. Efficient Project Cargo Coordination

For large-scale marine infrastructure and oil & gas projects, we offer project cargo logistics, managing every shipment from point of origin to final delivery. We coordinate with overseas suppliers, arrange vessel chartering, provide route surveys, and oversee last-mile installation support when needed.
