APM Terminals Apapa has reiterated its resolve to work closely with Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) to invest an additional $10 million (about N16.020 billion), in the acquisition and deployment of modern cargo scanners at Apapa Port, in Lagos.
This is even as it said it collaborated with the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) to successfully complete its quay apron area repair project in Apapa Port.
The quay apron area is a critical infrastructure initiative aimed at improving operational safety, sustainability, and efficiency at Nigeria’s busiest container terminal.
In a statement signed by the Terminal Manager, Steen Knudsen, the APM Terminals reiterated its commitment to invest in expanding its areas of operations in the country.

Speaking on the repair of the quay apron, Steen Knudsen explained that the project was delivered within the stipulated timeline through the deployment of appropriate equipment and a dedicated workforce.
Knudsen said, “The quay apron, one of the most operationally sensitive and high-risk zones within the terminal, posed substantial challenges. Executing extensive repairs in this area without disrupting daily terminal operations required precision planning and exceptional coordination. Despite these constraints, the project was completed seamlessly, with zero safety or security incidents—a testament to the professionalism and commitment of all parties involved.
“In total, the project achieved the successful rehabilitation of 970 meters of quay surface, completed through 12,640 man-hours and it was executed safely and efficiently.
This achievement reflects the strength of collaboration between APM Terminals Apapa, the Nigerian Ports Authority Engineering team, and all stakeholders who contributed to this vital infrastructure milestone.”
