When container shipping used to be the major thing, ships coming from the US go first rish Antwerp, Belgium before onward movt to Nigeria. This is still the case till date for container shipments from the US and Canada. They will always stop at Antwerp, where the consignment will be loaded onto another ship or ships that will bring it to 9ja. This is my educated guess.

Antwerp used to be the busiest shipping hub in Europe those days hence most second hand stuff especially cars and car parts used to be referred to as Belgium/direct Belgium
