As Nigeria’s demand for efficient marine infrastructure grows, jetty construction services have become central to enabling cargo handling, oil & gas exports, logistics operations, and industrial development along the coast. Whether for a seaport terminal, an offshore supply base, or an energy facility, well-engineered jetties provide critical shoreline access for ships, barges, and offshore platforms.

This article explores the landscape of jetty construction services in Nigeria, the leading companies involved, and how Wigmore Trading supports these projects through marine logistics, offshore provisioning, and supply coordination.

What Are Jetty Construction Services?

Jetty construction involves the design and building of marine structures that extend from the shore into the water to facilitate safe vessel berthing, cargo loading/unloading, and personnel access.

Typical Jetty Types:

• Trestle Jetties – supported on piles, ideal for deepwater operations

• Solid Fill Jetties – filled with rock and concrete, common in ports

• Oil & Gas Loading Jetties – for tankers and offshore mooring systems

• Floating Jetties – modular systems for fast deployment or shallow areas

Construction requires marine civil engineering, pile driving, quay wall installation, and sometimes dredging.
