In the 1980s Warri Port was built with one stop shop oil service centre covering the Western Delta area to attract companies with cost-effective benefits. The Warri Port Complex was declared a Free Zone in May 2011 and is currently undergoing expansion and enhancement of its capacity. Today, Warri Port is already fully active and provides complete, reliable and efficient services, at all times meeting the demanding standards of its customers. Following a presidential approval, Port Free Zone Services Ltd, a consultancy company, has been appointed to assist Government in the development and management of the Delta Port Free Zone, Warri.
