History
Established by the Federal Government of Nigeria in 1986, Nigerdock was privatized in 2001 under the administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo and subsequently acquired by Jagal Group in 2003. Nigerdock is a Shipyard and Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor serving the energy, shipping, and logistics sectors.
In 2005, Nigerdock gained Free Zone and Port status, leading to the establishment of the Snake Island Integrated Free Zone. The company began direct shipping in 2017 after approvals from the Nigerian Ports Authority and Customs.
