Our Core Values

These are the key principles that mould and navigate our attitudes at Summer, at home and in our sub consciousness, wherever. They are strong ladders that would rung us to the top. Through them, we have achieved remarkable success delivering on our contracts and agreements.
Trust in the Almighty, but tie your camel (Persian Proverb). God is our providence and compass that determine our business decisions and proclivity at Summer. We equally believe in and hold onto our vision tenaciously.
Then give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you (Madeline Bridges). Apart from the associated remuneration of service, we attach professional emotion to our client’s business as if in their shoes. The company exists to serve our Principals with unflinching loyalty. They have faith in us and help keep us afloat through recommendations and their good cooperation. We study our clients beyond the market borders while responding to their business needs. We hope to earn more clientage confidence.
Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning” (Benjamin Franklin). The company encourages growth, career upgrading, and service improvement to meet up with the current market competition. These help us to stand out from the crowd. We were able to use the meagre means at our disposal to achieve targets in the past, despite any economic downturns.
Innovation comes from seeing the same old things a little differently (Jack Welch). In the present day industries full of copy cats, comparison consultants, document doctors, imitation experts, complex managers, and money mongers, we bring our exceptional intuition to bear. We create the necessaries. We break our imagination glands and exfoliate realities that help us solve clients’ defined needs. In SILWA, we follow methods but not dwell on status quo when we’re hungry for results. Our yearly field experiences and clients’ reoccurring emphases inspire us.
An honest man’s word is as good as his bond (Miguel Cervantes (Don Quixote)). We believe in transparency and legitimacy of operations, hence our business is ‘legit’. We equally adhere to relevant regulations and standards.
It is not the individual or the army as a whole but the everlasting team work of every bloomin’ soul (J. Mason Knox) We have this saying, coined from the acronym SILWA: “Some Individuals Love to Work Along, while Some Individuals Love to Work Alone”. Our staff body eschews selfishness and embraces cooperation towards success, while respecting the measure of contribution of individuals in the group.
For Life is a just employer; he gives you what you ask, but once you have set the wages, why, you must bear the task. -(Jessie B. Rittenhouse) Summer encourages obedience, meeting of targets, constructive criticisms, and other positive professional attitudes (PPA) that translate into business success.

Why Hire Us?

SILWA distinguishes itself from other companies that would require you to do all the work while they take all the credit. With our professionally trained staff we are able to take on any challenge and provide superior outcomes for all parties as follow:

  • Warehousing of product follows immediately after discharge at tank farm/ warehouses.
  • SILWA deploys account officers that are dedicated to each account/ location.
  • As a service control measure, we send different teams for every service stage e.g. loading, discharging and inventory management at locations.
  • We issue independent quality and quantity certification on request.
  • We strictly carry out releases based on client’s authorized letters with known imprimatur.
  • Summer Inspection & Logistique W/A Ltd sends daily and periodic (weekly/ monthly) status report of an ongoing transaction.
  • Clarity and integrity of our reports.

THE NEED TO HIRE LEGALLY CERTIFIED AGENT

Due to proliferation of cargo inspection agents, warehousing agents and other project consultants –both registered and unregistered canvassing for clients in society today, there is a need to hire the services of a legally certified contractor. High-level transactions involving financiers and underwriters usually attract intense official scrutiny at every stage of execution. This may uncover an unregistered and hence illegal project executor on site handling such a sensitive and highly documented transaction. The consequences of endangering the goods of unsuspecting stakeholders, and hence denting the image of a supposedly reputable organization they represent, is far-reaching. The aftermaths of this are not far from litigations, claims, and governmental probing.
SILWA has therefore taken relevant legal procedures and foundational steps to enable it function optimally on your behalf. Apart from maintaining a clean slate with both CAC and tax office (FIRS), we have obtained a Permit of Operation from DPR and NNPC. We have active memberships from the Guild of Marine Surveyors (GMS) of Nigeria and hence International Institute of Marine Surveyors (IIMS) London, just to equip us to meet your present and future needs. Our research department is not slowing down their pace of study on current transactional dynamics either.
