About
About Manager
Six crossings a day, seven days a week, on a four-minute hop — 42 sailings each way, the densest service on the Lagos creek network. Departures go at 05:30, 07:00, 09:00, 14:00, 16:00 and 18:00, identical in both directions.
The distance is 0.3 nautical miles. Nothing about the crossing is long; what is unusual is that it runs on Sundays as well, when most routes in this system do not.
Both ends are inside the Apapa port district — Allens Unit and Alex Apapa on one side, this jetty on the other — and the traffic is port workers rather than travellers. Apapa's roads carry the container queues that have made the area a byword for gridlock in Lagos, and a four-minute boat running from half past five in the morning until six at night is the way people who work there get past it.
