As at today Thursday 8th May 2025, the Tanker Report today shows an active flow of refined petroleum and crude cargoes into Nigeria’s key coastal depots. A total of five vessels have been confirmed across Lagos and Waarri, offloading crucial volumes of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), Automotive Gas Oil (AGO), and crude oil into leading terminals.
This coordinated movement sustains national distribution as depots engage in a pricing tug-of-war across the downstream sector.

Why Today’s Tanker Report Matters
Furthermore, these five vessels represent 205,301 metric tonnes of critical petroleum supply, targeting both refining and retail demand. With PMS and AGO prices varying across depots and forex rates hovering above ₦1,725/USD in the black market, tanker scheduling has become a decisive factor in pricing and availability.
Also, as Nigeria’s coastal terminals remain active, tanker throughput today reaffirms logistics resilience in the face of market disruptions.
What to Watch Next
However, with additional vessels such as Matrix Triumph, ST Lady Meenah, and Fatima Zarah lined up for berthing, supply volumes will continue to increase. As PMS demand surges and depot competition intensifies, the tanker report today remains your real-time tracker of Nigeria’s petroleum lifeline.
