The management of APM Terminals Apapa said it will deepen investment at the Lagos Ports complex.
Its Chief Operating Officer, Steen Knudsen, made the pledge while taking delivery of four Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) cranes.

He said that was part of a larger equipment fleet renewal and expansion programme, where a total of seven RTGs, seven Reach Stackers and two Empty Handlers have been acquired.
He said with the new acquisition, the firm this year will have 30 RTGs in operation. It also has 13 Mobile Harbour Cranes (MHCs), in addition to several reach stackers, forklifts, empty handlers and specialised terminal trucks; making it the best equipped port terminal in Nigeria.
Knudsen said the new cranes have lifting capacity of 41 tons and would ensure efficient services to the entire port community.
He said the new cranes were acquired as part of an ongoing investment of $80 million for the year 2020-2021, bringing the total investment by the company in Apapa since 2006 to $438m (about N168 billion).
He said APM Terminals Apapa recently deployed 4G LTE wireless network and commissioned its Operation Command Centre to enhance its services.
