Founded in 2007, Ships and Ports came into being as a specialized journalism outlet dedicated to Nigeria's maritime and shipping industry, building its reputation as the country's reference point for coverage of ports, shipping, and allied sectors. The brand expanded beyond its website to include a popular syndicated radio program also called Ships and Ports, which has aired daily on Radio One 103.5 FM in Lagos. Today, Ships and Ports operates as a multi-platform media company including online news, a daily radio segment, and a print newspaper, headquartered in Surulere, Lagos, Nigeria. Today, Ships and Ports is mainly focused on Nigerian Ports Authority operations, maritime regulation, shipping industry news, and Customs Service coverage from their headquarters in Lagos, Nigeria. One interesting fact: Ships and Ports operates as a true multimedia maritime brand, combining a daily radio program broadcast since its founding with online and print journalism, an unusually integrated model for a niche industry trade publication.
