Nigeria · UN/LOCODE NGBRS

Brass Port, Nigeria

Brass Port is an offshore oil-export terminal in Nigeria’s Gulf of Guinea, identified by UN/LOCODE NGBRS. The supplied port record places it at approximately 04°04′06.57″N, 006°17′04.56″E, near Brass, Nigeria. Its operating profile is specialized rather than container-oriented: recorded calling vessels include crew boats, crude oil tankers and offshore supply ships. The terminal comprises two single-point moorings, with one normally in use and the other on standby, connected by a submarine pipeline. Our service team treats Brass as a project-led offshore call requiring terminal acceptance, tanker compatibility review, marine coordination and carefully controlled documentation. The record indicates approximately 30 vessel visits annually; actual acceptance, sailing windows and cargo nomination remain subject to terminal and carrier confirmation.

Key Highlights

Offshore oil terminal

Brass is primarily an oil-exporting facility, not a conventional container gateway.

SBM-based loading

Two single-point moorings are recorded, with one in service at a time and the other on standby.

Specialized vessel mix

Crude oil tankers, crew boats and offshore supply ships are the relevant vessel categories.

Limited call frequency

Approximately 30 vessel visits are recorded annually, so nomination and scheduling should be secured early.

Marine-access dependency

Loading depends on offshore conditions, submarine-pipeline readiness and terminal approval rather than ordinary gate operations.

Facilities & Services

Single-point moorings: The port record identifies two SBM units; one is used at a time and the second is maintained as standby. Availability must be reconfirmed for each nomination.
Submarine pipeline: The offshore loading arrangement is served by a submarine pipeline. Cargo compatibility, line readiness and nominated parcel details require terminal confirmation.
Tanker handling: The recorded maximum vessel parameters are a screening reference only. The terminal should approve vessel dimensions, draught, deadweight, manifold arrangement and mooring compatibility before fixing the call.
Offshore support: Crew boats and offshore supply ships form part of the recorded traffic profile, indicating a marine-support function associated with offshore operations.
Conventional cargo facilities: The supplied data records zero FCL, LCL and automobile movements. Our team therefore does not assume container yards, regular container handling, rail service, public warehouses or standard truck-gate operations at Brass.

Routes & Transit Times

Trade direction: The logistics profile is centered on crude-oil export movements from the Gulf of Guinea to the nominated discharge market. Specific buyers, lifting programs and destination ports must be confirmed per cargo.
Feeder or relay planning: Standard container transshipment assumptions are not appropriate for this terminal. If non-oil project cargo is involved, our team will assess whether another Nigerian or regional gateway is more suitable.
Schedule variables: Timing may be affected by terminal nomination, tanker acceptance, weather and sea conditions, SBM or pipeline availability, marine clearance, inspection requirements and destination-window alignment.
Transit commitment: No fixed sailing frequency or transit time should be promised from NGBRS. We provide a working schedule only after receiving the terminal window, vessel details, cargo documents and destination requirements.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

Primary economic linkage: Brass is associated with offshore and oil-export logistics in Nigeria’s Gulf of Guinea operating environment.
Principal cargo: Crude oil is the defining cargo category for the terminal profile supplied. Cargo grade, parcel size, loading instructions and quality documentation must be handled case by case.
Supporting cargo: Offshore supply materials, marine stores, equipment and project consignments may be relevant to crew boats or offshore supply ships, subject to terminal acceptance.
Inland distribution: Brass should not be presented as a general inland distribution gateway. For containerized, palletized or domestic cargo, our team will compare alternative Nigerian gateways and arrange the appropriate onward transport solution.

Operations & Compliance

Nomination and cut-offs: There is no assumed public CY cut-off or standard container gate. Loading instructions, document cut-off, arrival notice and marine window must be obtained from the terminal, operator and nominated agent in writing.
Dangerous goods: Crude oil and related offshore materials require correct dangerous-goods classification, SDS and transport documentation where applicable. Tanker, pollution-prevention and emergency-response requirements should be verified before fixture.
Vessel and cargo documents: Prepare the bill of lading or cargo receipt, commercial and customs documents, certificate of origin where required, cargo quality or quantity records, vessel particulars and terminal forms. The exact checklist depends on the lift and discharge country.
Marine and inspection risk: Weather, draft, mooring, hose or manifold compatibility, pilotage, security arrangements, inspection and regulatory clearance may change the operation. Our service team escalates discrepancies before the vessel proceeds.

Shipping Tips

Send the vessel IMO number, LOA, beam, summer draught, deadweight, manifold data, cargo quantity and nominated loading window before requesting a firm operational plan.
For crude or other regulated cargo, provide the SDS, cargo specification, grade, flash point where applicable, shipper details and destination import requirements early enough for compliance review.
Do not route ordinary FCL, LCL or vehicle cargo to NGBRS without written confirmation that the specific terminal and vessel arrangement can receive it. Our team can evaluate an alternative Nigerian gateway when container or inland delivery is required.
Build contingency time for offshore weather, SBM or pipeline readiness, inspection, security and marine clearance; treat all schedules as subject to terminal confirmation until the loading window is formally accepted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I book a standard container shipment to Brass Port?

NGBRS is described as an offshore oil-export terminal, and the supplied record shows zero FCL and LCL movements. Our team will not assume container acceptance; we first confirm the terminal, vessel and cargo arrangement or recommend a more suitable gateway.

What vessels are associated with NGBRS?

The recorded vessel types are crew boats, crude oil tankers and offshore supply ships. Vessel acceptance remains subject to the terminal’s current limits, marine review and the specific loading program.

Does the port have two operating SBM units?

The supplied port data records two SBM units, with only one in use at any time and the other on standby. Actual availability and changeover status must be confirmed for the nominated call.

Is the stated 13.4 m draught automatically available?

No. The 13.4 m figure is the maximum recorded draught in the supplied dataset, not a guaranteed operational allowance. Tide, weather, cargo condition, under-keel clearance and terminal instructions must be checked.

What information should be submitted for a quotation?

Provide cargo type and quantity, vessel particulars, loading and discharge locations, proposed window, dangerous-goods documents where applicable, charter or nomination details, and the required inland or offshore support scope.

Data Sources & Provenance

Hard identifiers and port parameters in this module—UN/LOCODE NGBRS, name, country, city, coordinates, vessel categories, recorded maximum dimensions, SBM arrangement, submarine-pipeline description and approximate annual vessel visits—are reproduced from the supplied port master data for Brass, Nigeria.

Operational rules, current terminal acceptance, marine windows, regulatory requirements, cargo permissions and schedule conditions are time-sensitive and must be reconfirmed with the nominated terminal, carrier, agent and relevant authorities. For official Nigerian maritime and port verification channels, our team may consult nigerianports.gov.ng, nimasa.gov.ng and customs.gov.ng. These domains are provided as authority reference points; they do not independently validate every operational statement above.

All dimensions and capabilities should be treated as screening information until the terminal and vessel operator issue written confirmation for the specific shipment.
