How can we help?
Common questions about listings, transactions, fees, and how the platform works. If you still need help, contact us directly.
Marine Scrap Africa is a marketplace for buying and selling marine scrap, end-of-life vessels, and offshore equipment. It gives sellers a structured way to list assets and gives buyers a reliable place to discover and engage with real opportunities in West Africa.
The platform is built for anyone involved in the lifecycle of marine assets, including:
- Vessel owners and asset holders
- Scrap buyers and recyclers
- Marine operators and offshore companies
- Logistics, inspection, and compliance partners
No. We do not carry out physical dismantling or salvage work. We provide the platform that connects buyers and sellers and supports the transaction process.
We are currently focused on Nigeria, with plans to expand across West Africa as the platform grows.
Create an account and submit a listing through the platform. You will be asked for details about the asset including specifications, location, condition, and any supporting documents.
Clear, complete listings attract more serious enquiries. All listings are reviewed before going live.
Listing is currently free. Premium options may be introduced for higher-value listings or enhanced exposure. Any fees will be made clear before you proceed.
All enquiries come from registered users with verified accounts. Conversations are tied to specific listings, which reduces noise and unserious outreach.
Browse listings directly on the platform. Each listing includes key details such as asset type, location, condition, quantity, and pricing. You can filter by type and location.
Contact the seller directly through the platform. From there, conversations move toward negotiation on price, terms, and inspection arrangements.
Yes. Inspection is a standard part of serious transactions and is expected for most deals. This is arranged between both parties, often supported by documentation and third-party surveyors.
All listings are reviewed before being approved and made public. That said, buyers are expected to carry out their own due diligence, including inspections and document verification.
- Seller lists the asset on the platform
- Buyer makes an enquiry or submits an offer
- Both parties agree on price and terms
- Inspection and documentation are confirmed
- Payment and settlement are completed
- Asset is transferred or collected
The platform provides structure around each of these steps to reduce friction and improve accountability.
For certain transactions, structured settlement options including escrow may be used to improve confidence and reduce risk for both parties. This depends on the nature and size of the deal.
This varies by asset, but may include:
- Ownership documentation
- Vessel or asset specifications
- Inspection and survey reports
- Compliance or clearance documents
Complete documentation improves transaction speed and builds confidence on both sides.
We earn primarily through transaction commissions on successfully completed deals. We only earn when a deal closes, which keeps our interests aligned with yours.
Commission typically ranges from 0.1% to 2.5% depending on the size and structure of the transaction. For larger deals, a custom rate may be agreed in advance.
No. Any fees relating to listings, transactions, or additional services are shown clearly before you commit to anything.
We reduce risk through structure rather than promises. That means:
- Reviewed listings before public approval
- Conversations tied to registered accounts and specific listings
- Clear documentation requirements throughout the process
- Defined transaction steps with accountability at each stage
No. Marine Scrap Africa facilitates transactions but does not act as the buyer or seller. Both parties remain responsible for their own due diligence and final agreement.
No. We provide a structured environment that works alongside existing relationships. The platform improves clarity and access without removing the people already involved.
Yes. We work with organisations whose services support marine transactions, including:
- Logistics and freight providers
- Inspection and survey firms
- Compliance and legal specialists
- Port and marine operators
If your work sits close to this space, there is likely room to collaborate.
We support better visibility and more structured processes, but regulatory authority sits with official agencies. We are open to conversations with relevant bodies where our work overlaps with their objectives.
Marine Scrap Africa is operated by MSA Green Technologies Limited, a company registered in Nigeria.
We have a working marketplace and are continuing to grow listings, partnerships, and transaction activity. The platform is live and accepting listings now.
