Port Harcourt, identified by UN/LOCODE NGPHC, is a seaport complex in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. The port first opened in 1913 and serves the industrial and commercial hinterland of the Niger Delta. Its cargo profile can accommodate containerized, breakbulk, project, bulk and other general cargo movements, while vessel calls may include offshore supply ships, crew boats, bulk carriers, passenger ferries and military vessels. The supplied port record lists a maximum recorded vessel length of 200 metres, maximum draught of 9.5 metres and maximum deadweight of 63,878 tonnes. Our service team uses these figures for preliminary planning only; berth acceptance, navigation conditions, cargo restrictions and terminal approval must be reconfirmed before booking.

The supplied port description states that the port can cater to virtually all types of cargo. Container, breakbulk and project movements still require confirmation of the selected terminal, equipment, dimensions, weight and receiving conditions. Our service team checks these items before booking.
No. It is the maximum recorded draught in the supplied port data. Actual acceptance may depend on vessel particulars, channel and river conditions, tide, berth, cargo distribution and current operational instructions.
Submit the complete dangerous-goods declaration and supporting information before cargo delivery and before the carrier’s approval deadline. The applicable cut-off varies by carrier, voyage and terminal, so our team confirms it for the specific booking.
Typical causes include customs examination, incomplete documents, terminal release delays, truck shortages, traffic, road restrictions, security arrangements and unsuitable delivery-site access. A pre-dispatch route and release check helps reduce avoidable waiting.
Not without the origin, cargo type, carrier service and final destination. We provide an indicative transit plan after checking the actual routing, transshipment, terminal handling and inland delivery requirements, with final timing subject to operational confirmation.
Hard identifiers, coordinates, recorded vessel parameters, opening year and vessel types in this module are based on the supplied NGPHC port record. Operational statements are presented as planning guidance and must be reconfirmed with the carrier, terminal, port authority, customs authority and inland providers for the specific shipment.
For regulatory and port-side verification, our service team recommends checking the current information published through the Nigerian Ports Authority domain nigerianports.gov.ng and Nigeria Customs Service domain customs.gov.ng. These domains are provided for authority-level verification; no fixed berth, fee, cut-off, clearance period, sailing schedule or acceptance condition is inferred from them here.
