Whether you’re shipping goods from international ports to Lagos or sending products to overseas destinations, we provide end-to-end shipping solutions that ensure seamless, on-time delivery.

Here’s a breakdown of our core marine shipping services:

1. International Ocean Freight Services

If you are an importer or exporter in Lagos, Cargoburg Logistics can handle all aspects of ocean freight shipping. We have strategic partnerships with global shipping lines and carriers, ensuring that your shipments are handled by the most reliable, cost-effective, and secure transport options available.

Our international ocean freight services include:

• Full Container Load (FCL): For businesses with large quantities of goods, we offer Full Container Load (FCL) services that provide a dedicated container for your shipment. This option allows for greater control and can be a more cost-effective solution for larger shipments.

• Less-than-Container Load (LCL): If you don’t have enough cargo to fill an entire container, we provide Less-than-Container Load (LCL) services that allow you to share a container with other shippers. This helps you save money by only paying for the space your cargo occupies.

• Specialized Cargo: For specialized shipments such as oversized cargo, breakbulk, and project cargo, Cargoburg Logistics has the expertise to handle these types of shipments with the utmost care and efficiency.

2. Lagos Port Handling and Clearance

Once your goods arrive at Apapa Port or Tin Can Island Port, the next step is to clear customs and handle port operations. As experts in port handling and clearance, we work closely with terminal operators, port authorities, and customs officers to ensure that your goods move through the port smoothly and without unnecessary delays.

Our port handling and clearance services include:

• Cargo Offloading: We ensure your cargo is safely unloaded from the vessel and transported to the appropriate storage area, whether it’s a container yard or a bonded warehouse.

• Customs Clearance: As a licensed customs broker, we handle all customs procedures, including tariff classifications, duty calculations, and ensuring that all documentation is in order. This helps to avoid delays and ensures your cargo clears customs without issues.

• Cargo Tracking: Once your cargo has been offloaded, we provide real-time tracking services so that you can monitor the status of your shipment as it moves through the port and on to its final destination.

3. Inland Transportation and Delivery

After your cargo has been cleared through Lagos ports, the next step is to transport it to its final destination. With Cargoburg Logistics, you can rely on our inland transportation services to get your goods delivered safely and on time, whether it’s a local delivery in Lagos or further afield to cities like Abuja, Port Harcourt, or Kano.

We offer:

• Door-to-Door Delivery: From the port to your warehouse or retail outlet, we provide door-to-door delivery services for all types of cargo, including perishable goods, industrial equipment, and consumer products.

• Fleet of Trucks: Our fleet of well-maintained trucks ensures that we can handle cargo of all sizes. Whether you need a flatbed truck for oversized cargo or a box truck for smaller shipments, we have the right vehicles to handle your needs.

• Efficient Routes: With years of experience in Nigerian logistics, we know the best routes to take to avoid traffic, road closures, or other delays, ensuring that your cargo is delivered on time.

4. Customs Brokerage Services

Navigating the complex customs regulations in Nigeria can be a daunting task for any importer or exporter. As a licensed customs brokerage service provider, Cargoburg Logistics ensures that your shipments comply with all local regulations, minimizing delays and ensuring a smooth transit process.

Our customs brokerage services include:

• Document Preparation: We handle all the necessary documentation for customs clearance, including bill of lading, commercial invoices, packing lists, and more.
