I need someone, contacts or information on anyone who can build a prototype shipping vessel either fabricated with steel or using carbon fibre or any material that can give us something beautiful.

I'll need to see previous jobs done even if not a shipping vessel.

Vessel size will be 2M (W) X 1M (H).

Thank you.

Still on the issue of imported cars. Let’s put some numbers to it to get a clear picture because we are not talking in abstract
As an illustration;

Can One get a clean low mileage accident free Camry 2010 for less than $4k, I doubt so. Even at auctions.
Now $4k = #2.4M
Plus shipping $1200 = #720k
Clearing is about #650k
Total #3.77M
The question is, who would buy a 2010 Camry for #4M?
u 4got to add ground shipping that alone could set you back $900

My brother, its a dead car or nothing. I cant even ship my used car i bought from the dealership to Nigeria because the dead cars in Nigerian market will not allow you sell it. The only car i ship to Nigeria for use when am visiting is another dead car with good cosmetic condition. That way i can sell it at a competitive price before leaving. I have a low mileage 2012 Honda i bought for personal use and for keep but unfortunately my wife said its too small for family use, unfortunately selling it is a big lose because its not a dead car.

I did mine more than a year ago. It has been working very well since then. Clean water from day one, no complain at all.
It cost over #1M around ihiala- Orlu area.

Your site will determine final price.
I can give your his number but I have no interest in the business. Just a satisfied customer.

Bros this your assumption is wrong. Please stop generalize your experience with others. Nigerians are African most competitive bidders of word bigger used car auction. We compete with them every day. Sir if you don’t mind, how many cars do you ship to Nigeria every month to even say that.

He's right. I've bought enough and watched a lot of auctions to know.

Most Nigerians only bid on high mileage or severely accidented cars. It's very difficult to see a Nigerian win a bid for a car below 80,000 miles.

This is especially true for cars above 10 years. Those are the cars you find everywhere in the country.

I'm privy to a house like that in Ibadan where the owner went all out. I can see, touch and feel the quality within. Turning on the light is a soothing experience. The switch mechanism is different.

Here is the thing, I don't intend to touch any switch in my house in the future.

Clean car that adulterated fuel, bad road, reckless danfo drivers, Okada, bad mechanics, dust and China parts would damage in less that 6 months of use. It’s waste of money.

Year back I used a very clean Toyota that was imported from US especially for me to Nigeria. It got flooded really bad ( my fault though) because I impatiently drive into a big flood.
The engine and transmission was replaced with one from Japan with very low mileage. That car performance turned out to be better that it was when it was imported from the US.
Lesson learned:
Dead cars could be salvaged in Nigeria especially if the parts are available and considering that cost of mechanic labor is cheap.

I think this is a good bargain for him. 10 years warranty..so he's going to enjoy power for good 10 years for that amount. That's like ₦870k annually.

What I'm spending on the windows eh.. But then taste = cost.
But would fueling generator gulp 870k annually?

I did something similar (abeit in another estate), right now facing issues with one of the lands.

So they are begging I give them time to sort the issue.. Seems another party got right to the same estate land they sold to us.... A land with C of O that's genuine!

I actually bought this particular land so that when money is needed in bulk, it can be sold to continue pending projects.
I will try this
