NEXIM, in partnership with relevant agencies, have over the years been advocating for the establishment of a regional shipping line, the Sealink, which will operate within the regional market, thereby reducing transit travel time and logistics costs, to enhance trade connectivity and competitiveness.

The Survey and Charting, which was jointly undertaken by hydrographers of the Nigerian Navy and National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), with financial support from NEXIM Bank and Afreximbank, comprised 12 paper and electronic charts to ensure navigational safety of the lower River Niger channel to boost both hinterland and coastal trade.
