At WOLID International Limited, we offer secure and efficient loose bulk cargo handling services to importers, exporters, and manufacturing clients shipping via Nigerian seaports. From grain and fertilizer to mineral ore and scrap metal, we dominate the unique weights of loose (uncontainerized) cargo with precision, security, and speed.

Irrespective of whether your cargo arrives in a major port like Lagos (Apapa, Tin Can), Port Harcourt, or Warri, WOLID possesses the personnel, gear, and documentation expertise to offer effective door-to-door port handling.

 

What Is Loose Bulk Cargo?

Loose bulk cargoes are unpackaged items transported in bulk quantities without containerization. These are normally poured or loaded directly into ship holds, trucks, or storage areas. They include:

  • Solid minerals
  • Agricultural commodities
  • Scrap metal or paper recyclables
  • Building materials

 

Handling such cargo is a technical operation conducted through coordination and following environmental and safety measures.

 

Our End-to-End Bulk Cargo Handling Process

WOLID provides a one-stop-shop service for import and export bulk cargo handling. Our services include:

  • Pre-arrival coordination with terminal operators and port authorities
  • Overseeing and tallying vessel discharge supervision
  • Stevedores’ and surveyors’ verification of cargo quantity
  • Inland movement coordination by bulk truck loading
  • Weighbridge documentation services
  • Customs duty processing and clearance
  • Liaison with Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) and Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA)

 

We get your cargo moving promptly from ship to shore, minimizing port storage fees and avoiding demurrage fees.

 

Successful Discharge & Loading Operations

Time is money when it comes to handling bulk cargo. Trained stevedores and sophisticated discharge equipment (grabs, hoppers, and conveyors) are used by our trained personnel at WOLID to reduce turnaround time while ensuring safety and cargo protection.

We track all parts of the operation—from the initial truck leaving the terminal to the last truck leaving—requiring constant accountability and proper reporting to customers.
