The Lekki Deep Seaport on Friday surpassed stakeholders expectations since the start of operations with the berthing of its largest vessel, a 300-meter Length Over All vessel.

The vessel christened CMA-CGM RABELAIS, with an impressive capacity of 6570 TEUs, started its journey from China.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the berthing of the record-making vessel, was contained in a statement issued on the official Twitter page of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA).

The statement said the vessel christened CMA-CGM RABELAIS had an impressive capacity of 6570 TEUs.

It said the vessel would be discharging and loading export cargoes.

“The journey of the vessel originated from Shanghai, China and called at the Lekki Port,” it said.

In response to the development, the NPA Managing Director, Mr Mohammed Bello-Koko, said: “it is a testament to Nigeria’s drive in delivering cargo with ease and utmost efficiency.”

“The fact that this vessel was departing the country on the same day it berthed was a fulfillment of their promise to deliver speedy cargo dwell time,” Bello-Koko said.
He noted that this was done through improved efficiencies, and state-of-the-art machinery.

“I am delighted to assure you that we are committed to continuously improving on this milestone,” he added.

The statement quoted the Asst. Harbour Master for Lekki Port, Capt. Monday Gajere, as saying that the thorough navigation risk assessment involving pilots, tugs, and mooring gangs allowed for smooth berthing of the large cargo carrier.

Gajere said that the berthing of the large cargo carrier was a demonstration of the Authority’s readiness to handle such cargoes.
“This is to maximise the competitive advantages that Lekki Port deep draught and state-of-the-art equipment offers as Nigeria advances toward attaining port hub status,” he said. (NAN)

I was there on Friday, it was a massive cargo

FreeStuffsNG:
Nigeria is on an unprecedented economic upqard trajectory and boon.

Thank you President Muhammadu Buhari
Thank you President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

God bless Nigeria for ever!

FreeStuffsNG:
Wow!!! Awesome! It came in with goods and was filled with exports then turned back same day!

DeLaRue:
Excellent.

China's trade with Nigeria will boom into the future, leaving the controlling, intrusive, colonialist EU and UK in the dust.

I don't care about China, but at least they don't interfere in Nigeria's internal affairs.

In another 20 years, China will dominate the global landscape leaving America consumed by its own grand delusion of global superiority.

You are a sore loser. Nigeria defeated you and your ilks. As you can see, we made it in spite of you.

We ignored you naysayers, cyberbullies and criminal defamers and today God placed a sweet song of victory in our mouth.
All the enemies of Nigeria will lose. You always lose.
God bless Nigeria and curse those who curse and hate Nigeria and Nigerians. May our land never bless them.
Btw,I have reported you to the mods.

aariwa:
lol you are the loser here already. Using scam format hush puppi used in 2013 to try and scam people on Nairaland of all places in 2023 doesn’t portray you to anybody as smart and the reason why you are a loser is that after more than a year of doing this you have not caught anybody in your trap. If what you are offering is good, instead of Nairaland won’t you start from your family members to cousins, friends, people from your village etc? Continue wasting your time with your outdated scam format

FreeStuffsNG:


This is one of your numerous monikers you use to blackmail, cyberbully and criminally defame innocent people and I will help you with enough digital footprints so that one day when discrete background checks are done on your online activities, your cyberbullying and criminal defamation activities will come up during the search and you will be seen in your true colours.
You are not happy that Nigeria made progress in spite of you, your hate and bigotry.
You will be reported again for attempting to derail the thread

Your life of crime will never be allowed to fester on Nairaland. Your fraudster mates go on Instagram and twitter but you are here looking for who to scam here on Nairaland. You have even even gone to change your profile to business funding. You can never erase your online scam foot prints no matter where you go. I hate scammers because people like you are the ones that ruin opportunities for good Nigerians

FreeStuffsNG:
I will keep helping you make digital footprints for your cyberbullying and criminal defamation activities online.

Those who will do the discrete background checks on you will read my comments that confirm your cyberbullying and criminal defamation and compare to the blackmail you are making now. I assure you that they will be very meticulous so that they will know you criminally defame and bully innocent people online.

It happened to Hundeyin when Oxford University found him out. You will be fished out too. That moniker you think you hide behind to commit the crime of criminal defamation will not protect you from answering to your crime.

In 7 days time, Asiwaju Tinubu will come on board and you bigoted, hate filled cyber bullies and criminal defamers will be taken up by the law one after the other.
You do the crime you will do the time

Fraudster Sukami Vaughn your fraudulent activities have come to end continue deluding yourself on tinubu saving you from poverty, that’s your fools paradise not mine
