XPO Marine Services Limited was established in 2012 with the primary objective of participating in the Nigerian cabotage industry. At the time XPO was established, there was a dearth of indigenous firms in the sector and XPO leveraged on the burgeoning opportunities available as a result of the enactment of the Cabotage and Local Content Acts by the Nigerian Government. XPO also saw the service quality gap existing in the sector as a compelling investment case.
