History
Established by the Federal Government of Nigeria in 1986,[2] Nigerdock was privatized in 2001 under the administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo[3] and subsequently acquired by Jagal Group in 2003.[4] Nigerdock is a Shipyard and Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor serving the energy, shipping, and logistics sectors.[5]
In 2005, Nigerdock gained Free Zone and Port status, leading to the establishment of the Snake Island Integrated Free Zone.[6] The company began direct shipping in 2017 after approvals from the Nigerian Ports Authority and Customs[6].
