Onne Port Complex is the largest Oil and Gas Free Zone in the world. All of the major industry players operate from here, from the exploration, development and completion phases to production and wells workover in the Nigerian offshore and onshore reserves. Its main features are the two major terminals – Federal Ocean Terminal (FOT) and Federal Lighter Terminal (FLT) and the Onne estate facilities.
Under-used and only partially built, Intels Nigeria Limited refurbished the Onne complex from 1982 until 1995, when the first ocean vessel moored at FOT’s (Federal Ocean Terminal) Berth No. 1., eventually becoming the only harbourage for deep offshore support. Today the port is divided into two areas: a Federal Lighter terminal (FLT) and a Federal Ocean terminal (FOT).
