Logistics and network
Shipping to Nigeria.
Consignments for Nigeria move Sea from Nhava Sheva or Mundra to Lagos (Apapa or Tin Can Island), then road. Typical transit is 25 to 35 days; discharge at Lagos: Apapa / Tin Can Island; Onne for the Niger Delta. We quote Ex Factory or FOB Mundra / Nhava Sheva, with payment by LC at sight or advance, USD.
The grid runs at 50 Hz with 415/240 V low-voltage supply and 11 kV and 33 kV distribution (grid code nominal levels 330, 132, 66, 33 and 11 kV). Distribution is operated by Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) and the eleven DisCos (Ikeja, Eko, Abuja, Kano, Port Harcourt and others), regulated by Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC); NEMSA for installation safety. Import conformity: SONCAP: a Product Certificate (PC) and a SONCAP Certificate (SC) issued by a SON-appointed agency before shipment, presented at the port; transformers are a stated SON testing focus.
LT cable was the second product line the business added, back when it made only poles. It is now a 1,000 kilometre a month operation, and it underpins the underground cable work we are known for in the field.
Because we lay cable as well as make it, the specification we manufacture to is the one we then have to install, joint and commission ourselves. That tends to concentrate the mind on the things that matter — insulation wall consistency, armour quality and drum handling.
