NRC Begins Lifting Of Containers By Rail

 

 

The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has begun lifting containers for Nigeria’s largest container terminal, the APM Terminals Apapa Limited, carrying 35 containers from the Apapa Port in Lagos by railway in its twin maiden service to the APMT’s new inland container terminal in Kano.
An integrated shipping and logistics company, Inland Containers Nigeria Limited (ICNL), first begun the carriage of containers to its Kano and Kaduna terminals after the service was revived and activated in July 2013, but the service remained largely inconsistent with stakeholders continuing to call for an effective intermodal transport system to decongest the Apapa access roads which are perennially gridlocked.
