Dangote Petroleum Refinery exported at least 208,000 metric tonnes of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) in five cargoes between October 30 and November 6, 2026, with shipments recorded for West African destinations, including Tema in Ghana.
The export activity involved five vessels: UM BALWA, NCC QAMAR, PRECIOUS BALBOA, UM KISO and FAIR WONDER, according to the vessel movement records reviewed by Petroleumprice.ng.
The largest recorded export activity occurred on October 30, when three vessels carried a combined 128,000 metric tonnes of petrol. UM BALWA transported 44,000 metric tonnes to West Africa, while PRECIOUS BALBOA carried another 44,000 metric tonnes for the same regional market.
NCC QAMAR accounted for the remaining 40,000 metric tonnes, with its destination listed as export without a specific receiving country or port.
Another 40,000 metric tonnes was recorded on November 3 aboard UM KISO, with Tema, Ghana, identified as the destination. The vessel appeared again in the November 4 records with the same cargo volume and destination, indicating a repeated record of the shipment rather than a separate export.
The latest PMS cargo in the period was recorded on November 6, when FAIR WONDER carried 40,000 metric tonnes for West Africa.
Of the five cargoes, 128,000 metric tonnes were explicitly designated for West African markets, including the 40,000 metric tonnes bound for Tema, while the destination of NCC QAMAR's 40,000 metric tonnes was not specified beyond its export classification.
The records also show that Dangote Refinery continued exporting other refined petroleum products during the same period, including aviation fuel and Automotive Gas Oil (AGO). However, those shipments are excluded from the PMS export total.
The recorded petrol shipments underscore the refinery's participation in regional petroleum product trade, with West Africa remaining a clearly identified destination for a significant share of its export cargoes.
