SIFAX Inland Container Terminal (ICT), an off-dock terminal from sifax Group, has recorded 33,500 TEU in its first year of operations, reports Lagos Sun.
Located in Ijora, Lagos, the container terminal was commissioned in October 2020 to alleviate the difficulties from port users such as truckers, shipping lines, and consignees, in accessing the Lagos ports.
SIFAX ICT head of terminal Paul Van den Linden declared that the growth of the terminal in the last year was due to smart solutions and great service.
'In the last one year, the terminal has recorded great strides in line with its core objectives of offering clients a smart alternative in cargo clearing around the Lagos ports. Our clients don't have to go through the stress of traffic gridlock to clear their goods. Our terminal has saved them the stress,' said Mr Linden.
'For our first year of operations, the terminal has recorded 33,500 TEU of cargo processed. These include 22,000 TEU of full-laden containers, 10,000 TEU of empty containers, and 1,500 TEU of export containers. This was achieved due to our solid investment in technology, responsive customer care as well as a motivated workforce,' said Mr Linden.
Mr Linden also declared the terminal's customer base has risen to over 600, including agents, importers, and exporters.
'The terminal is also playing comfortably in the reefer container space. We now have a solution where we pick temperature-sensitive produce directly from farms across the country to our terminal in Lagos, from where we ship them abroad in excellent condition,' said Mr Linden.
