PTML explained that the terminal operator made the group-breaking achievement in July when it received a Grimaldi vessel named “Grande Houston”, which arrived at the Tincan Island Port to tranship 5,489 new vehicles, loaded in China and destined for ports across Europe and Africa.

“The development marks a significant milestone for the Nigerian port industry, as it is the first time a port in West Africa has received such a large quantity of new vehicles discharged by a single vessel.

“Most importantly, these new vehicles, loaded in China, were destined for ports in Europe and other African countries from the PTML terminal at the Tincan Island Port, Lagos,” the firm stated.

According to PTML, the historic feat demonstrates its efficiency and capability.

It noted that all vehicles were discharged in under three days and reloaded within a week onto ships bound for various ports in Europe and other African countries.
