As of today 17th April 2025, Nigeria’s key petroleum terminals have received fresh supplies of refined products, reinforcing market liquidity amidst fluctuating depot prices and currency pressures. Five vessels have berthed or are currently discharging across Lagos and Warri ports with over 88,000 metric tonnes (MT) of PMS, AGO, and LPG.

Strategic Implications
With over 88,000 MT of refined petroleum products in circulation from five active discharges, the Nigerian downstream supply chain remains robust. The LPG offload at AA Rano supports domestic gas availability, while the PMS cargoes address fuel distribution needs across the Lagos-Warri corridor.
Outlook
More cargoes are expected to berth in the coming days, including AMIF (30,000 MT PMS), PS New Orleans (26,271 MT PMS), and Zonda (22,000 MT PMS), strengthening Nigeria’s buffer against potential distribution bottlenecks.
