About
About IKO/Temidire
This is one of the few Lagos crossings that runs every day of the week. Four sailings — 05:00, 09:00, 17:00 and 19:00 — 28 a week in each direction, over 0.1 nautical miles and five minutes to the First Gate at Tin Can Island.
Most routes on this network stop on Sundays. A seven-day timetable with a five-o'clock start says the traffic here does not follow an office week.
Tin Can Island is one of Lagos's two main container ports, and its access roads are among the most congested in West Africa — queues of trucks waiting for the gate have been measured in days rather than hours. A five-minute boat to the First Gate, running from five in the morning until seven at night, is what port workers use to avoid all of it. The distance is trivial; the alternative is not.
