Frequently Asked Questions
- Can Vandyvah handle more than one service on the same port call?
- Yes. Most port calls combine several — agency, husbandry, crew movements and bunkering commonly run together. They are coordinated as one operation with a single point of contact rather than as separate engagements.
- Which Nigerian ports does Vandyvah cover?
- Vandyvah coordinates operations across Nigerian ports and marine locations, including the Lagos port complex at Apapa and Tin Can Island, and eastern ports and offshore locations where the requirement calls for it.
