Market Context
The surge in delivery activities comes amid renewed import momentum and continued Dangote supply rollouts ahead of the August direct-distribution switch. Despite tanker activity increasing, Lagos and Port Harcourt continue to face jetty congestion and clearance delays, slowing turnaround times.
Nevertheless, operations in Warri and Calabar appear more efficient, with Matrix and Alkanes maintaining shorter discharge cycles.
