## Description

Shell, ExxonMobil and TotalEnergies all run regional headquarters around Port Harcourt, and the oilfield-service firms that cluster with them make Port Harcourt International Airport (PHC) a working freight point for the Niger Delta's energy economy. Ranked among Nigeria's three busiest airports, PHC clears air cargo through the NAHCO and SAHCOL terminals, with volumes reported up by more than 17 percent in recent years. Urgent components and oilfield equipment frequently arrive by air rather than waiting on seaport congestion. About 44 km away lies Onne, home to one of the world's largest Oil & Gas Free Zones, where qualifying equipment enters duty-free — an advantage Lagos ports cannot match. Air and sea thus combine into a single supply chain for the energy sector. The Nigeria Customs Service clears shipments on-site at the airport. For forwarders handling project cargo and oilfield logistics, PHC is a dependable reference point in southern Nigeria.
