About Lomé
Lomé is the deepest container port on the West African coast and the only one in the region able to take the largest vessels on the trade, which has made it the natural transshipment hub for the Gulf of Guinea. A large share of what lands there is feedered on to neighbouring countries. It also serves as the transit corridor for Burkina Faso and Niger.

Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 16–21 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage.
