Yinka Group Of Company
About us | As the organisation's chartering activities developed and demand for shipping space increased, chief folawiyo created a new shipping company, nigerian green lines ltd. From the purchase of its first ship - M. V. 'ahmadu tijani' (10,826 tons dead-weight) in 1973, nigerian green lines blossomed in six short years to become the largest privately-owned shipping company in west Africa with a fleet of six general cargo vessels totalling 87,807 tons dead-weight. In 1975, the shipping operations were expanded with the inauguration of a regular liner service from Europe to Nigeria, utilising both owned and chartered ships. The line carried large quantities of nigerian produce to both Europe and the USA in addition to the regular shipment of bagged cement, totalling half a million tons a year. It became a member of continent west Africa conference (cowac) and UK/west Africa lines joint service (ukwal) and a recognised national line in the unctad context. To improve on the discharging time and facilities in lagos port, the group then embarked on a us $5 million investment programme in lighterage facilities. This included the purchase of 18 pontoons, two motorised barges and three tug boats. |
