AZ DE WORLD CARGO LOGISTICS LIMITED has set a new quality benchmark in Nigeria’s maritime and logistics sector following its successful certification under the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System (QMS) standard.
The globally recognised certification was awarded by Cognicert UK Limited after a comprehensive audit and assessment of the company’s operational processes in line with the stringent requirements of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
The certification covers a wide scope of services including offshore support operations, marine logistics, clearing and forwarding, cargo inspection, customs clearance, aircraft and ship parts movement, break-bulk cargo handling, project cargo services, and general merchandise logistics.
ISO 9001:2015 is one of the most respected global standards for quality management systems. It confirms that an organisation operates structured and documented systems that emphasise risk management, service efficiency, regulatory compliance, continuous improvement, and customer satisfaction.
Reacting to the milestone, the Managing Principal of the company, Dr. Azeez Abayomi Mustapha, described the achievement as a defining moment in the firm’s growth trajectory and professional evolution.
“In the logistics industry, precision, reliability, safety and efficiency are not optional — they are essential.
“This ISO certification affirms that our operational processes, cargo handling procedures, documentation systems and service delivery standards meet internationally recognised benchmarks of quality and compliance”, Mustapha stated.
He explained that the certification reflects the company’s deliberate commitment to structured systems and global best practices across its entire value chain.
“This achievement reinforces our commitment to timely and secure cargo movement, transparent documentation and regulatory compliance, continuous process improvement, risk management and operational safety, and customer satisfaction at every stage of the supply chain” he said.
Mustapha stressed that the certification process was rigorous and internally driven, noting that it was not merely acquired but built into the company’s operational culture.
“This certification was not bought — it was built. It was achieved through leadership commitment, comprehensive documentation, staff training, systematic implementation, internal audits and periodic management reviews. It is a testament to the discipline, professionalism and dedication of our entire team”, he added.
According to him, every department of the organisation played a role in attaining the global standard.
“From operations to warehouse management, fleet coordination to customer service, every department contributed to building a system that consistently delivers excellence”, Mustapha said.
He further assured clients, partners and stakeholders that the ISO seal represents a renewed assurance of quality, reliability and integrity.
“For our clients and partners, this certification is a renewed assurance that your cargo is handled with global best practices and uncompromising standards.
“We remain committed to raising the bar in logistics performance, strengthening supply chain reliability and delivering value with integrity”, he affirmed.
With the ISO 9001:2015 certification, AZ De World Cargo Logistics Limited is expected to deepen operational efficiency, reduce service risks, enhance transparency, and strengthen its competitive positioning in both domestic and international logistics and maritime markets.
In addition to the ISO milestone, the company holds the required permits to provide international freight, clearing and forwarding services, further consolidating its status as a dependable partner in cross-border trade and integrated logistics solutions.
Summing up the company’s new phase of growth, Mustapha declared:
