Container Handling at Lagos Ports
Professional container handling, stuffing, de-stuffing, and terminal coordination with safety and turnaround as priorities.
Containers move through several hands between the vessel and your warehouse: terminal operators, Customs, shipping lines, holding bays and trucks. Flaming Integrated Logistiks coordinates each of these steps at Lagos ports, so your containers move without avoidable delays.
We handle stuffing and de-stuffing, examination, transfers and the return of empty containers, so your team doesn't have to spend days at the port.
What's included
Working the Lagos terminals
Each Lagos terminal has its own procedures for booking examinations, settling charges and gating containers out, and trucks entering the ports are managed through the NPA's electronic call-up system. Knowing these routines is what keeps a container moving.
We also follow up on empty container returns, so container deposits can be refunded and late-return charges are avoided.

Frequently asked questions
What is container de-stuffing?＋
De-stuffing is unloading cargo from a container, either at your premises or at a warehouse, so the goods can be stored or distributed.
Why do I pay a container deposit?＋
Shipping lines often take a deposit to guarantee the empty container's return in good condition. We help you return it on time and recover the deposit.
Can you move containers between terminals?＋
Yes, we coordinate approved transfers to bonded terminals or holding bays when needed.
What happens during a Customs examination?＋
Customs officers open the container and check the goods against the declaration. We attend so any query is resolved on the spot.
