West Africa Container Terminal

Leading the Energy Shift in Terminal Operations

In Nigeria’s fast‑evolving industrial and maritime sector, having a dependable and cost‑effective energy source is pivotal for continuous operations and environmental responsibility. At container terminals where large‑scale logistics, import/export flows, and time‑sensitive handling converge, energy disruptions can quickly ripple into operational inefficiencies, higher costs, and reputational risks.

West Africa Container Terminal (WACT) recognises this reality and is taking bold steps to address it. Facing common challenges such as unreliable grid supply, high diesel fuel expenses, and the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions is paramount for any company in today’s world.

West Africa Container Terminal’s (WACT) forward-thinking commitment to energy transition is a landmark project designed to enhance operational sustainability and energy resilience. By reducing its reliance on diesel-powered generators, WACT is expected to cut its carbon footprint by 16,700 tonnes of CO₂ over the lifespan of the agreement, an ambitious yet critical move that signals the terminal’s alignment with both national and global climate action goals.

This solar initiative not only addresses immediate operational challenges, such as high fuel costs and inconsistent grid supply, but also establishes a long-term foundation for energy independence and environmental stewardship within Nigeria’s maritime logistics sector. It exemplifies how industrial-scale infrastructure can adopt clean energy solutions without compromising on performance or efficiency.

This partnership marks a major step forward in WACT's commitment to achieving net-zero emissions and contributing to APM Terminals’ industry-leading global commitment to be fully net zero by 2040, and to reduce our scope 1 and 2 emissions by 65% by 2030 compared to 2022. The topic of decarbonisation and renewable energy is a passionate cause for the business, marking the first significant step towards WACT's net-zero journey - West Africa Container Terminal
