About This Seaport
Once a busy outlet for timber, agricultural produce and fish from the Niger Delta, Sapele on the Benin River has largely lost its commercial role and lay idle for years before parts of it were handed to the Nigerian Navy. Lying more than 100 km inland, the river port is formally part of the Delta port group (Warri, Burutu, Sapele) but handles only limited general cargo today. For containers, breakbulk and international shipments, Warri, Onne and the Lagos ports (Apapa, Tin Can) are the workable alternatives. Forwarders should confirm current commercial availability in advance, as Sapele's freight relevance is restricted.
