APM Terminals Kano has announced a record 51 per cent increase in Through Bill of Lading volumes for its half-year period, from January to June 2025.
In a statement on Wednesday obtained by The PUNCH, the Terminal Manager of APMT, Steen Knudsen, said, “When compared with the 2024 half-year period from January to June, we observed a notable percentage increase of 51 per cent in TBL (Through Bill of Lading) volumes in 2025.”
Knudsen explained that the increase in volumes was a result of concerted and collaborative efforts from the Kano team, working with the Apapa team to ensure that the terminal operator moves more volumes in and out of the hinterland seamlessly through Apapa port.
According to him, in May, the terminal handled the highest number of gate-out units since January 2024, adding that it “handled 139 container units at the out-gate, higher than each monthly unit 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, standardising 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 recently completed a major upgrade of its facilities, featuring renovated gates and security offices to boost operational efficiency and safety. Future initiatives include installing solar power systems to energise gate and yard lighting, aligning with the terminal’s Go Green sustainability strategy to significantly cut CO2 emissions.
