What Is Marine Cargo Handling?

Marine cargo handling refers to all processes involved in the movement of goods on and off ships, within port terminals, and toward their inland destinations. It includes services such as stevedoring, lashing, unlashing, container stuffing and stripping, heavy lift coordination, and breakbulk cargo management.

This critical service forms the backbone of international shipping logistics. Errors or delays during cargo handling can result in damaged goods, increased demurrage charges, port congestion, and loss of customer trust. At Cargoburg, our job is to ensure none of that happens.

We manage a wide range of cargo types including:

• Containerized Cargo (FCL & LCL)

• Breakbulk and Out-of-Gauge Cargo

• Project and Heavy Lift Cargo

• Liquid Bulk and Dry Bulk

• Fragile and Perishable Goods

Every category requires specific equipment, operational precision, and safety standards—all of which Cargoburg Logistics Limited provides with unmatched consistency.

Cargoburg’s Approach to Marine Cargo Handling

What sets Cargoburg Logistics Limited apart in the marine logistics industry is not only our geographical coverage, but also our proven process and attention to detail. From port arrival to inland transport, we manage each cargo consignment with a 360-degree logistics solution.

1. Pre-Arrival Planning

We coordinate with shipping lines and terminal operators to prepare for your cargo’s arrival before the vessel even docks. This reduces lead time, accelerates clearance, and minimizes potential demurrage.

2. Expert Stevedoring

Our trained stevedores are experienced in handling a variety of goods—from heavy machinery to delicate electronics—using modern cranes, forklifts, and cargo gear. We ensure each item is handled properly to prevent damage and speed up port operations.

3. Lashing, Securing & Unlashing

Securing cargo is essential to prevent movement during sea transit. We use international-standard lashing equipment and techniques to secure cargo for both import and export.

4. Breakbulk and Project Cargo Handling

For non-containerized and oversized cargo, we offer specialized breakbulk handling. Our teams handle disassembly, rigging, lifting, and safe offloading of large industrial units, construction equipment, or oil & gas modules.

5. Customs Clearance Coordination

As a licensed import clearing agent in Nigeria, we expedite documentation, duties assessment, and customs approval, saving our clients from unnecessary port delays or fines.

6. Final Delivery and Warehousing

After clearance, we coordinate last-mile delivery and can also provide short-term and long-term warehousing at strategic port locations.

Every step of our process is rooted in safety, accountability, and efficiency—values that define our company and our relationships with clients.
