As of today 17th April 2025, two major PMS tankers, AMIF and Front Capella were recorded at Lagos ports, with one discharging and the other awaiting berth. This reinforces fuel availability across depots as Nigeria’s downstream players continue to balance import volumes with domestic supply strategies.

Strategic Implications
The berthing of AMIF at NIPCO with 30,000 MT of PMS adds valuable stock to Lagos’ supply chain. While Front Capella awaits berth, its significant cargo is expected to further ease inland fuel distribution in coming days.
Outlook
As more vessels queue to offload at key jetties, including Pinnacle’s Lekki facility, supply levels are expected to remain stable. Market watchers anticipate increased discharge activity through the weekend to support depot replenishment.
