Brief History

AZIMUTH SHIPPING LINES LIMITED and DELAKES OIL TRADING LIMITED is two sister Establishments owned by same Management and incorporated as Shipping, Oil and Gas Companies with the Corporate Affairs Commission on 16th November, 2001 and 18th February, 2008 respectively. Our Head Office is located at No: 5B Alhaji Hussein Street, Off Road 12, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos Nigeria.

We have the authorities and permission of the relevant authorities regulating the activities of the maritime industry in Nigeria to carry out our daily business.  These government Agencies include, Nigerian Maritime Administration & Safety Agency (NIMASA), Nigeria Custom Services, Nigeria Ports Plc, The Nigerian Navy, Department of Petroleum Resources, NNPC and many others.

AZIMUTH SHIPPING and DELAKES OIL are the leading players in the areas of Ship Ownership, Ship Chartering, Ship Management, Bunker and Cargo supplies.  This has been made possible as a result of determination, prudency, tenacity of purpose and articulated management plans and strategies aimed at continuous driving these companies to greater heights.  It is pertinent to say that we are a household name in these areas in the maritime sector.

It is on record that so many shipping companies at the moment could not withstand the economic meltdown being caused by COVID-19 pandemic and the financial crisis that is rocking several businesses all over the world.

At this period we have remained strong financially, materially and in human capacities.  Our success story is based on financial prudence, pro-active actions, professionalism, determination and hard work.  It is on record that we are not indebted to any Bank in Nigeria and abroad.  While other companies are closing shops, we has acquired one tanker vessel; MT AYODEJI 40,831 dwt.  We are poised to surpass our present achievements in the years to come.

As member of Indigenous Ship-owners Association of Nigeria we had taken the advantage of the Carbotage Law which empowers the Nigerian ship-owners to participate fully in the lifting and discharge of petroleum products. Through first-class service and branding, we want to achieve a leading position
