MSC Group and Nigerdock sign 45-year concession for Lagos port terminal

Design specifications include an initial dredging depth of -16.5 metres chart datum to align with the existing navigation channel. The facility will encompass a 30-hectare yard designed for hybrid rubber-tired gantries, with provisions for future expansion.

MSC noted that the terminal design remains scalable to allow for a final depth of -18 metres chart datum to accommodate larger vessels.

Diego Aponte, President of MSC Group, commented, "The new terminal will open up opportunities, enhance efficiency, and elevate Snake Island Port as a major global shipping center."
