About the Ebute Ojo/Sifax Ferry Terminal – Liverpool crossing
07:30 Monday to Friday, and 06:30 on Saturdays. Two departures covering 9.2 nautical miles in 30 minutes between Ebute Ojo and the Liverpool terminal in the Apapa harbour area.
Saturday leaves an hour earlier
The weekend sailing goes at half past six rather than half past seven — earlier, not later, which is the reverse of the usual weekend shift and suggests it is timed against something other than office hours.
Eighteen knots across the harbour
Nine miles in half an hour is respectable for a lagoon craft. The road between these points crosses the Apapa port approaches, which are among the most congested stretches in Lagos.
A long-dated plan
The listed schedule holds to 21 April 2027. Sunday carries nothing on this pairing.
Vehicles, pets & onboard
- Passenger water buses
- Modern jetty terminals
