Largest-Ever Container Vessel To Visit Nigeria Berths At Lekki Port by Biodun556(op): 7:18pm On Jan 21, 2024
LEKKI PORT CONTINUES TO REACH NEW & EXCITING MILESTONES!

Lekki Port, Nigeria’s most modern and deepest seaport, has successfully berthed the MAERSK EDIRNE, a 13,092 TEUs vessel. This is the largest container vessel, to ever berth in Nigeria till date.

The container vessel docked at Lekki Port at 14.42 hours on Sunday January 21, 2024.

The MAERSK EDIRNE is one of 13 large container vessels which form the new CMA CGM WAX service that will operate along key locations including Xiamen, Qingdao, Shanghai, Singapore, Lekki Port, and Abidjan.

This marks a pivotal moment in our maritime history as Lekki Port proudly joins the esteemed CMA CGM West Africa express service, as the only port in Nigeria that is in this impressive port rotation. This is a testament to Lekki Port’s capability to accommodate large container vessels, solidifying its position as a key player in global trade.

The MAERSK EDIRNE is a container ship with a length overall (LOA) of 366 meters and a width of 48 meters.

This is a great win for Nigeria and the beginning of a new era of maritime excellence.

Stay tuned for weekly calls of 13,000/14,000 TEUs vessels! We are extremely grateful to the NPA team of pilots and other professionals who steered the vessel safely to berth.

The next vessel that will be calling at Lekki Port is the magnificent CMA CGM SCANDOLA, an LNG powered vessel with a carrying capacity of 14,000 TEUs, on January 29.

More grease to Lagos Elbows. A testimony to what inspired leadership can achieve amongst abject mediocrity and misrule.

Lagos lead while others follow. I only pity some people telling their citizens not to invest in Lagos because is southwest but people that Wise and are here for business are tapping into lagos future. Buy properties in Ibeju lekki and it environment like Epe and not regret in the future. Have said my own.

This is beautiful.

The government should help divert some cargos to this port to decongest Apapa port.

This port looks under utilized.

Just a bitter, twisted and sadistic soul. Even more sad if the character is truly female.

This is a really remarkable project.
I don't know whether it is a 100% Lagos state funded project, or whether the Federal govt contributed in part or whole to its funding.
I strongly suspect federal funding because this is Nigeria.
If Lagos state funded it solo, then there's no reason why Ibaka seaport should not have been completed by now.
Governments of eastern states should learn from Lagos about delivering big projects.
Truth.
