The Lagos State Ferry Services Corporation (LSFSC) or Lagos Ferry Services Company (also known as LAGFERRY) is the major ferry services provider in Lagos State. Although Lagos ferry services commenced operations in 1925,[1] passenger ferries gradually intensified until the 1970s which lead to the establishment of Lagferry in 1983.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Lagferry works in conjunction with Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA), National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) and Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA). Besides, Lagferry, other private ferry operators also use modern ferry boats to provide commercial transport services between Ikorodu, Lagos Island, Apapa and Victoria Island.[9][10]
