The Managing Director of Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Mohammed Bello Koko, has joined the Governor of Lagos State Government, His Excellency, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Management of Lekki Port and other stakeholders to welcome the largest container vessel (LNG-Powered) to berth in Nigeria.
The CMA CGM SCANDOLA has a length overall (LoA) of 366 meters and a width of 51 meters and it is the first LNG-powered container vessel to sail to West Africa.
Apart from its distinctive feature of eco-friendliness, “Scandola” ranks amongst the largest container ships to be calling in West Africa with about 15,000 TEUs.
Lekki Deep Seaport’s natural depth of 16 meters added to its multifaceted efficiencies, state-of-the-art equipment and robust infrastructure which offers a capacity of up to 1.2 million TEUs in this phase 1 positions the Port to serve as a mega transshipment hub to Nigeria’s neighboring countries in the Gulf of Guinea and beyond.
