MSC has launched a new feeder service connecting Lekki in Nigeria with Lomé in Togo, strengthening regional maritime connectivity across West Africa. The new route is expected to improve cargo flows between two key ports and support growing trade demand in the region.
The feeder link will provide more efficient transshipment options for shippers moving cargo through larger international networks, enabling smoother connections to global mainline services. Lekki’s expanding port infrastructure and Lomé’s established role as a transshipment hub make the corridor strategically important for containerized trade.
Industry stakeholders say the service could help reduce transit times, improve schedule reliability, and offer greater flexibility for importers and exporters across West Africa. It is also expected to support sectors such as consumer goods, manufacturing inputs, agriculture, and project cargo.
The launch highlights MSC’s continued focus on strengthening intra-African shipping networks as trade volumes rise and regional logistics integration gains momentum. Enhanced feeder connectivity is increasingly seen as vital to unlocking the continent’s port and supply chain potential.
