Henrietta Maritime Nigeria Limited is a maritime service provider headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria, specializing in shipping logistics, vessel support, and supply chain management within the West African region. Established as a registered entity under Nigeria’s Companies and Allied Matters Act in July 2010, the company emerged from a foundational development phase that began in the early 2000s. Over the years, it has evolved from a local operator into a multifaceted marine contractor, catering to the diverse needs of ship owners, managers, and port agents operating in the Gulf of Guinea.
The company primarily functions as a ship chandler and logistics partner, ensuring that commercial vessels and offshore platforms receive necessary provisions and technical support while at port or anchorage. Its chandling operations cover a broad spectrum of supplies, ranging from fresh and dry provisions to bonded stores, cabin consumables, and deck and engine equipment. Beyond basic provisioning, the firm manages complex procurement requirements, including the supply of marine chemicals, lubricants, and spare parts essential for vessel maintenance and regulatory compliance.
In addition to supply services, Henrietta Maritime Nigeria Limited acts as a shipping agent, facilitating port operations and regulatory clearances for visiting vessels. The organization provides critical husbandry services, such as crew change management, welfare support, and repatriation, which are vital for maintaining operational continuity in the shipping sector. Its logistics capabilities extend to air, land, and sea freight, allowing for the movement of marine equipment and oversized cargoes across Nigeria and neighboring West African territories.
The company also plays a role in the offshore and energy sectors, offering bunkering services that include the supply of fresh water and various fuel types. It addresses environmental and safety concerns through waste management solutions, specifically the disposal of sludge and slops, alongside the provision of ship fenders for ship-to-ship operations. By integrating these technical services with general marine consultancy and haulage, Henrietta Maritime Nigeria Limited supports the operational readiness of tankers, bulk carriers, and offshore support vessels navigating the high-traffic waters of Nigeria and the broader West African coast.
