Notore Industrial City, Onne Rivers State
Notore Chemical Industries was granted a Free Zone Developer (FZD) Licence in 2017 by the Onne Oil & Gas Free Zones Authority (OGFZA) to operate an Oil and Gas Free Zone in Onne.
Pursuant to being licensed as a Free Zone Developer, Notore Chemical Industries has created the Notore Industrial City (NIC) as an Oil and Gas Free Zone and commenced full scale operation. NIC is positioning as a gas hub but is also providing logistics and engineering services.
The NIC is being developed on a world class industrial master plan design model on a private real estate of 560 hectares owned by Notore Chemical Industries with government-approved title of a Certificate of Occupancy valid for 85 years. The city design concept seeks to deliver an experience in which people would “work, live and play” in the convenience of the same ambient environment.
The companies projection is to expand its built area from 120 ha to 560 ha with the capacity to provide 24/7 operations offering a wide range of services and facilities from cargo handling and inventory management to warehousing, stacking yards, offices, camp accommodation and recreational facilities.
Positioned strategically along the Notore Channel with navigational access to the Atlantic Ocean, NIC, if we must emphasize, is predominantly a gas hub with logistics and industrial base that provides integrated solutions to companies operating in West Africa along the entire oil and gas value chain. The hub is an integration of 3 zones into one theme—Industrial (which is the main core), Commercial and Residential zones—making up a unified layout designed to be self-supporting.
The occupancy scheme is a model by which plots are leased to companies under the “sites and services” scheme.
NIC is located in Onne, Rivers State, Nigeria. The City is less than 3km drive from the Onne Ports and less than 15km drive from the central business district of Port Harcourt.
- NIC can be directly accessed by road via the federal highway to the OGFZ and the Notore Jetty with navigational access to regional and international waters.
