About the Ojo market waterside – Irewe Ojo crossing
The two departures here are 07:00 and 10:30 — and the inbound leg uses the same two times. One boat, two landings, and a timetable that mirrors itself.
Twenty minutes for 3.5 nautical miles
Eleven knots across the western Lagos lagoon. If the same vessel works both directions it cannot make a 07:00 at each end, so the mirror is two boats or a rounding in the source — our data does not say which.
Nothing after mid-morning
Both sailings are finished by eleven. A market landing gets boats when the market wants them, and by the afternoon the traffic has moved to the road.
Monday to Saturday, to 21 April 2027
Sunday has no service. The same quay also sends an 08:00 to Ibese, which sits neatly between these two.
