“This is the fastest transit time in the industry. No transshipment, no delays! Nigerian importers can now ship their goods with ease and confidence, knowing their cargo will arrive directly and on time,” Russo said.

The new service is tailored to accommodate all types of cargo, including containers, cars, vans, trucks, heavy equipment, general cargo, and project cargo, ensuring flexibility for a wide range of shipping needs.

Russo noted that this service is designed to deliver maximum value to Nigerian importers and exporters, offering competitive freight rates while maintaining Grimaldi’s reputation for reliable service.

“With the launch of this direct shipping service, we are addressing one of the key challenges faced by Nigerian importers—unnecessary delays caused by transshipments through other ports. This direct route reduces costs, eliminates risks, and simplifies logistics for businesses in Nigeria. It is a game-changer for trade between China and Nigeria,” Russo stated.

He further assured users of the service that they would enjoy the premium benefits associated with Grimaldi’s PTML Terminal, located at Tin Can Island Port.

“We are offering streamlined handling, priority processing, and an unparalleled level of service through our PTML Terminal, which remains the preferred logistics hub in West Africa. Our customers can rely on us for seamless, stress-free shipping solutions,” Russo added.

He said the launch of this service further underscores the strategic importance of the PTML Terminal, which has solidified its position as a premier logistics and transshipment hub for West Africa.

The Grimaldi Group recently inaugurated the new monthly shipping service with the maiden voyage of the Great Cotonou, a state-of-the-art G5-class Ro-Ro multipurpose vessel. The vessel is part of Grimaldi’s cutting-edge fleet, which integrates advanced technology for efficient cargo handling and reduced environmental impact.

“This new service is a testament to Grimaldi’s commitment to innovation, customer satisfaction, and the development of the Nigerian maritime sector,” Russo stated. “We are proud to be a trusted partner for Nigerian businesses and remain steadfast in our mission to provide world-class shipping solutions.”

 

Nigerian importers and exporters have lauded the development, noting that the direct shipping route will not only save time but also reduce the overall cost of doing business. The Grimaldi Group’s initiative is poised to boost trade between China and Nigeria, strengthening economic ties and driving growth in both regions.

 

With competitive freight rates, unparalleled transit times, and comprehensive cargo-handling solutions, the Grimaldi Group’s direct service is set to redefine shipping standards and create new opportunities for businesses across Nigeria.
