APM Terminals Nigeria Advocates Green Maritime Projects

APM Terminals Nigeria has urged for enhanced collaboration among government, investors, industry players, and development partners to expedite the development of bankable green maritime infrastructure projects in Nigeria. This call was made by Frederik Klinke, Chairman of APM Terminals Nigeria, during the second Decarbonizing Infrastructure in Nigeria (DIN) Summit held in Abuja.

Klinke highlighted that while Nigeria has made strides in maritime reforms and climate action, it is crucial to transition from policy formulation to implementation for effective decarbonization. He stated that scalable, investment-ready projects are essential, supported by regulatory clarity and reliable emissions data.

Koen De Backker, CEO of APM Terminals Nigeria, noted that improving logistics efficiency can significantly reduce emissions. Senator Ibrahim Hadejia, representing Vice President Kashim Shettima, called for policy reforms and innovative risk-sharing mechanisms to attract investment.

Musaddiq Adamu mentioned that the summit aims to connect green infrastructure concepts with investment-ready projects, including a partnership for electrifying port operations.
