Nationwide Presence at Nigeria’s Major Port Cities
Cargoburg Logistics Limited operates at all major Nigerian port locations, offering comprehensive import clearing services at:
By maintaining a strong presence at these critical maritime hubs, we are able to serve importers wherever their shipments land in Nigeria. Each of these cities plays a vital role in Nigeria’s international trade system, and our operational reach ensures that clients benefit from localized support and deep knowledge of each port’s unique procedures and regulatory landscape.

Cargoburg ensures strict compliance with all Nigerian import regulations while incorporating environmentally responsible practices, such as fuel-efficient haulage and digital document management to reduce paper waste.
6. Cost-Effective Solutions
Through accurate documentation, advanced planning, and operational efficiency, we help clients avoid unnecessary charges such as demurrage, storage, and penalties. Our pricing is competitive and fully transparent.
7. Dedicated Customer Support
Our clients have access to a dedicated account manager and a responsive operations team. Whether it’s a documentation question or a port issue, help is always just a call or email away.
