Nigeria – EWB – Eko Water Buses Project Lagos

Dangote is investigating the possibilities of water buses for Lagos State Nigeria to elevate some of the stress on the Lagos road traffic. CDR was invited to perform a quick scan and present their results. The Key Project Aspects were:

  • Proper Technical and Operational Project Management is the main pillar for success of the project;
  • Ferry Operations in (mega-)cities is ongoing worldwide, knowledge is well available: managing all processes strictly and efficiently is challenging given the environment;
  • Lagos conditions are very special, one should be prepared for its extreme crowds and the specific mentality of the customers;
  • Terminal operations will be the most important link in the chain of operations demanding utmost attention;
  • International standard and strictest operational procedures should be strongly adhered to in order to win respect and order; safety and security of operations (permanently) is key parameter of success;
  • Optimization w.r.t. ferry boats deployment, routing, timing to be optimized pro-actively during operations; the electronic ticketing system is instrumental.

CDR has performed a quick scan in Europe on waterbus systems and presented their findings.
