APM Terminals has recorded a 1.09 per cent increase in export volumes for the 2025 financial year, reflecting a modest but steady improvement in outbound cargo throughput.

Chief Executive Officer of APM Terminals Nigeria, Frederik Klinke, made this disclosure at the opening of the Blue Economy Investment Summit in Abuja on Thursday.

Frederik Klinke explained that the growth was driven by increased activity in key export commodities, particularly agricultural produce and solid minerals, as well as improved operational efficiency across its facilities.

Klinke stated that an increase in export activity is evidence that Nigeria’s strategic reforms and investments are beginning to yield tangible results, even as the global maritime industry faces mounting uncertainty.

He noted that while international shipping continues to grapple with disruptions driven by geopolitical tensions and shifting trade routes, Nigeria has maintained forward progress, particularly in its push to expand non-oil exports.
