The West African sub-region remains a hub for coastal and deep offshore maritime activity in the continent of Africa.

Driven mainly by offshore Oil and Gas exploration/production activities and the region's dependency on imported commodities. Furthermore, the abundant aquatic life in the temperate Atlantic ocean is fertile fishing grounds for the industry operators. With the advent of Nigeria's Deep Blue project to combat insecurity off the West African coast, it is fair to anticipate an uptick in leisure deep sea boating especially during the periods where the sea swells are relatively calm.

Currently, the utilization of inland water routes for movement of dry bulk and liquid cargo is yet to be fully harnessed, and so this presents a challenge for which ECMFS Shipyard would be proud to be a part of the solution by providing locally-constructed fit-for-purpose marine assets that incorporate cutting edge technology thus creating jobs and helping to turn the corner on the present-day trajectory of the Nigerian economy.
