Nigeria’s growing demand for cement, grain, and agricultural exports has made bulk carrier leasing an essential service for businesses operating in the maritime and logistics industries. For companies that need to move large volumes of dry commodities efficiently, leasing bulk carriers provides the flexibility and affordability required to stay competitive in today’s trade market.
At African Land, we connect clients with verified bulk carriers for lease in Nigeria, ensuring access to safe, seaworthy, and NIMASA-compliant vessels suited for both local and international transport.
Leasing a bulk carrier vessel is the ideal solution for businesses involved in construction materials, agriculture, or export logistics. Instead of investing heavily in buying a vessel, leasing allows companies to scale operations based on demand.
Benefits of leasing include:
Reduced capital cost: Avoid the high upfront investment of vessel ownership.
Operational flexibility: Lease for short-term or long-term contracts.
Access to different vessel sizes: Choose the right DWT capacity for your cargo load.
Faster mobilization: Start operations quickly with ready-to-sail vessels.
Maintenance handled by owners: Focus on trade while the lessor manages upkeep.
Whether transporting cement from Dangote terminals or grains from northern Nigeria to coastal ports, bulk carrier leasing ensures efficiency and reliability in your supply chain.
African Land partners with trusted shipowners to offer vessels designed for different trade needs:
Handysize Bulk Carriers (10,000–35,000 DWT): Perfect for regional routes and medium-scale cargo.
Supramax Carriers (50,000–60,000 DWT): Ideal for cement, fertilizers, and grains.
Panamax Carriers (65,000–80,000 DWT): For high-volume international shipments.
Mini Bulk Carriers: Great for short-haul or coastal delivery operations.
Each vessel is fully crewed, insured, and compliant with NIMASA and international safety standards.
Bulk carrier leasing is especially valuable on Nigeria’s most active trade routes, including:
Lagos to Port Harcourt – Cement and industrial supplies.
Warri to Calabar – Agricultural and fertilizer shipments.
Lagos to Tema (Ghana) – Cross-border trade of grains and bulk commodities.
Apapa Port to international routes – Large-scale exports of cement, soybeans, and maize.
These routes support Nigeria’s role as a regional export hub, connecting local industries with West African and global markets.
