Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals received a total of 19 crude oil and feedstock cargoes amounting to approximately 17,561,500 barrels between February 22 and March 2026, according to discharge records reviewed by Petroleumprice.ng.
The data indicates a sustained multi-source supply pattern combining Nigerian crude streams with international imports, as the refinery continues ramping up operations through its Single Point Mooring (SPM) infrastructure.
The inflow began with Sonangol Kalandula, which delivered 128,000 metric tonnes of crude from Anyala on February 22 under NNPC Trading supply. This was followed by Barbarosa from the Odudu terminal with 125,000 MT and Cavalryfrom Bonny with 128,046 MT, both handled by Bluestar through SPM-C2 terminals.
Further Nigerian cargoes included Nordic Space, which made two separate deliveries from Bonny totaling 268,169 MT across March 2 and March 9, alongside Mercury Moon from Anyala with 88,669 MT. Additional domestic crude streams also came through Barbarosa from Escravos with 131,364 MT and from Qua Iboe with 130,000 barrels, reinforcing the dominance of Nigerian upstream supply in the inflow structure.
The records further show large-scale barrel-based cargoes handled through international trading channels. Bristoldelivered 950,000 barrels from Utapate and later 1,050,000 barrels from Bonga, both routed through Glencore and Vitolrespectively, while Advantage Sierra supplied 950,000 barrels from Ugo Ocha under BP.
One of the largest single inflows came from Aterbates, which discharged 2,150,000 barrels of crude from Ingleside, United States, supplied by Vitol, underscoring the refinery’s growing exposure to U.S. crude grades. Additional international volumes are expected from Yasa Hercules, which is scheduled to deliver 273,287 metric tonnes from Corpus Christi.
Beyond crude oil, the refinery also received significant volumes of refined and intermediate products. The Trouvaillecargo delivered 36,625 metric tonnes of gasoline blendstock from Lavera, France, while Koolgight supplied 35,795 metric tonnes of condensate and naphtha from Lomé, Togo, and NY Maria discharged 80,000 metric tonnes of PMS from Singapore. These inflows reflect continued balancing of feedstock and product streams within the refinery’s operations.
Operationally, the cargoes were handled across multiple SPM terminals, including SPM-C1, SPM-C2, and SPM-P1, with logistics coordination provided by agents such as Bluestar, GAC, and WAPS, depending on the vessel and cargo type.
The discharge timeline shows a tightly sequenced arrival and berthing schedule stretching from late February through March 2026, with several cargoes still marked “to be confirmed” for final berth or sailing dates, indicating ongoing operations at the facility.
Overall, the data highlights a diversified procurement strategy blending domestic crude dominance with strategic international imports, ensuring continuous feedstock availability for sustained refinery throughput.
