APM Terminals has signed a long-term exclusive lease with Barging Marine Solutions that puts waterfront and inland container terminals at the centre of its strategy for Apapa, reinforcing its commitment to Nigeria’s trade infrastructure through to 2031
The agreement, which runs until September 2031, gives APM Terminals expanded access to two waterfront and inland container terminal facilities operated by BMS, alongside supporting barge services.
The focus is on increasing handling capacity beyond the quayside and strengthening inland connections that can move containers more efficiently into and out of Lagos.
