The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) says Onne Port Complex today Saturday, April 27, 2024, has yet again demonstrated its capacity and readiness for large ship calls, with the successful berthing of a container vessel with length overall (LOA) of 300 meters.

In response to the development, the NPA Managing Director, Mohammed Bello Koko, said “This is a confirmation of the capacity and readiness of Eastern Ports for vessel traffic.
This also shows that our investments in channel navigation and security are yielding results and promises to sustain the advocacy for the patronage of the eastern ports.”
Kota CEMPAKA came after the berthing earlier of vessel “Maersk Stadelhorn” also measuring 300 meters LOA and “MV Lady Jane” with 295 meters LOA, this development shows Onne Port is poised to sustain its growing fortunes.
