APM Terminals Kano
APM Terminals Kano said it recorded 51% increase in Through Bill of Lading volumes for its half year period, January to June 2025.
Terminal Manager, Steen Knudsen disclosed this in a press statement made available to journalists.
Knudsen said, “When compared with the 2024 half-year period from January to June, we observed a notable percentage increase (51%) in TBL (Through Bill of Lading) volumes in 2025.
“This increase in volumes is as a result of concerted and collaborative efforts from the Kano team, working with the Apapa team to ensure that we move more volumes tin and out of the hinterland seamlessly through Apapa port.”
Knudsen added that the terminal in May 2025 also handled the highest number of gate-out units since January 2024. In May 2025, the terminal had handled 139 container units at the out gate, higher than each monthly units handled at the out gate from January to June 2024.
“Kano’s gate-out performance in May marked the highest monthly total since January 2024, highlighting a significant milestone. This achievement reflects the unwavering dedication of our Kano team to operational excellence. By implementing Lean methodologies, standardizing processes, and eliminating inefficiencies, the team has successfully enhanced terminal performance and set a new benchmark for success.
“The recent volume growth is a strong testament to the strategic investments made at our Kano facility—particularly the comprehensive refurbishment of office spaces, yard and yard equipment,” he said.
The terminal had recently completed a major upgrade of its facilities, featuring renovated gate and security offices to boost operational efficiency and safety. Future initiatives include installing solar power systems to energize gate and yard lighting, aligning with the terminal’s Go Green sustainability strategy to significantly cut CO2 emissions.
