APM Terminals in Nigeria

Lifting standards. Empowering trade. Enabling growth.

Nigeria’s economy depends on reliable, efficient and sustainable trade. At APM Terminals, we work with customers, partners and government stakeholders to strengthen supply chains and connect Nigeria more seamlessly to global markets, fuelling the country’s economic growth.

With operations in Apapa, Onne, and Kano, we handle around half of the country’s containerised trade – creating value not only for businesses, but also for communities and the national economy.
