China to Lagos Sea Freight - FCL, LCL & Project Cargo from China to Nigeria

Your China-to-Lagos Shipping Partner Since 2011

Lagos is the commercial capital of Nigeria and the largest cargo gateway in West Africa, handling the vast majority of Nigeria's containerized imports through the Apapa and Tin Can Island port complex. Whether you export machinery, steel, construction materials, or consumer goods, SPEED INT'L provides reliable FCL, LCL, break bulk and project cargo services from Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Ningbo, Qingdao and Shanghai directly to Lagos.

Why Shipping to Lagos Requires a Specialist

Port congestion is structural: Apapa and Tin Can Island regularly experience berthing delays and trucking bottlenecks. A freight forwarder with an on-the-ground Lagos network gets your cargo out of the terminal faster.
Mandatory Nigerian documentation: Form M, PAAR, SONCAP/CRIA for regulated goods, and ECTN/BESC for all shipments. Missing documents mean demurrage and long clearance delays.
Direct vs transshipment: Direct sailings from South China ports reach Lagos in approximately 30-40 days; transshipment via Tema, Lome or Algeciras adds 5-10 days.

Break Bulk & Heavy Lift: Steel coils, pipes, machinery and oversized equipment with professional lashing - single shipments up to 5,000 tons.
OOG & Project Cargo: Flat racks, open tops and Ro-Ro solutions for out-of-gauge equipment and vehicles.
Door-to-Door & Customs Clearance: End-to-end handling through our local Nigerian network, including terminal handling, customs and inland trucking.
