GMT was the first to realize that using the waterways is the only way to move forward. The current infrastructure around the ports in Lagos is not up to the standards our clients need. Finding an alternative solution for cargo movement was therefore necessary.

The use of barges and waterways is a revolutionary practice in Nigerian logistics. GMT embarked on a mission to acquire lands suitable for our purpose and developed it into terminals to handle the volume of cargo we are handling for our clients. It has been a great addition to our operation and has given us an edge over everyone in the market.

Less than a year after we made the decision, we became the largest barge operator in Lagos, moving over 5,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) per month through the waterways and delivering the cargo to our clients just-in-time.
