He described the facility as one of the most efficient maritime terminals in the region.
Baldomar explained that the terminal provides a wide range of services, including general cargo handling, container logistics, warehousing, oversized cargo management, and specialised support services for the oil and gas industry.
He added that Warri Port’s strategic location gives it a competitive edge in serving businesses across the South-South and South-East regions of Nigeria.
Also speaking during the tour, Head of Clearing at Julius Berger Terminal, Mr. Olise Fidelis, assured prospective investors that the safety of cargo remains a top priority.
He noted that the facility operates under strict security protocols supervised by relevant government agencies, including the Nigeria Customs Service.
Fidelis further revealed that the terminal has maintained a zero-accident record through strict compliance with safety and operational standards.
Highlighting the broader economic impact of the terminal, Mr. Ikubor Akpevwe said the facility has the capacity to expand trade, attract fresh investments, and reduce logistics bottlenecks for businesses operating in the Niger Delta and other parts of the country.
He urged importers, exporters, and maritime stakeholders to take advantage of the opportunities available at Warri Port.
Terminal Operations Manager, Mr. Inusa Zuberu, also reaffirmed the terminal’s readiness to handle increased cargo volumes and support expanded commercial activities.
According to him, ongoing investments and operational improvements are positioning Warri Port as a major maritime hub capable of creating jobs, stimulating commerce, and attracting new business opportunities into Nigeria’s economy.

Industry stakeholders say increased utilisation of the facility could boost economic activity across the Niger Delta while supporting national efforts to diversify trade and strengthen local industries.
