Dredging complete at Snake Island Port

Nigerdock, Nigerian maritime and logistics company operating an integrated port and free zone in Lagos, recently completed dredging of the company’s main terminal.

Following the successful conclusion of dredging activities within Snake Island Port, the company was able to receive general cargo vessel measuring 143 meters overall (LOA), 21.75 meters wide and 9 meters deep that discharged 10,600 units of general cargo weighing 13,000 tons.

The project involved dredging down to a depth of 10.5 meters with a length overall (LOA) of 200 meters. This increases Nigerdock capacity and depth of the terminal, optimizing the port efficiency for a variety of services including berthing, cargo handling, stevedoring, transshipment, and warehouse management.
