Dangote Petroleum Refinery exported 476,000 metric tonnes (MT) of refined petroleum products in nine cargoes in August, with shipments destined for Singapore, Lome, Jorf Lasfar, West Africa, and the United Kingdom, according to shipping data reviewed by Petroleumprice.ng.
The August export programme covered Fuel Oil, Jet A1, automotive gas oil (AGO) and premium motor spirit (PMS), reflecting the refinery’s expanding participation in regional and international refined-product markets.
The largest cargo was the 144,000MT Fuel Oil shipment aboard Nordic Breeze, which was destined for Singapore.
Jet A1 accounted for 172,000MT across four cargoes. ASP Cedar carried 44,000MT to Jorf Lasfar, while Cape Olympic carried another 44,000MT to an unspecified export destination. Torm Grace carried 40,000MT, also with no destination specified, while Kriti Ruby transported 44,000MT to the Isle of Grain in the United Kingdom.
Dangote also exported 84,000MT of AGO in August. PIS Paragon carried 44,000MT to Lome, while AMIF transported another 40,000MT to the same destination.
PMS exports totalled 76,000MT. Cristallina carried 38,000MT to West Africa, while Seafriend transported a further 38,000MT to Lome.
The three identified cargoes bound for Lome therefore accounted for 122,000MT, comprising 84,000MT of AGO and 38,000MT of PMS.
The export destinations extended beyond West Africa, with Singapore, Jorf Lasfar and the Isle of Grain in the UK also identified among the destinations. The available shipping data did not specify destinations for Cape Olympic and Torm Grace.
The 476,000MT figure covers the nine cargoes explicitly identified as August export shipments from Dangote Refinery. Vessels associated with domestic discharge points, as well as movements involving transshipment to Stellar, were excluded because the available data did not identify those movements as exports.
