APM Terminals Apapa has introduced a Berthing Window service to reduce the waiting time of ships and help consignees take prompt delivery of their consignments at the port. The first Berthing Window for the WAF/MWX service (operated by Hapag Lloyd, CMA-CGM & Arkas) was launched on last week with the arrival of the 4,360 TEU CMA CGM LAPIS at APM Terminals Apapa, which is located within the Lagos Port Complex, Apapa.The Chief Commercial Officer of APM Terminals Apapa Richard Smith said the service will enable the allocation of a fixed time period for vessels to berth, discharge, load and sail. He said the new Berthing Window is another major milestone achievement at APM Terminals Apapa to enhance service delivery and improve customer experience. He said “The berthing window is a major step towards bringing structure to the berth schedule, cutting waiting time to zero, assisting shipping lines to maintain a regular fixed arrival time, and allowing us to deliver better services to Nigerian importers and exporters.”
