Fresh cargoes of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) and Aviation Turbine Kerosene (ATK) has berthed at major petroleum depots in Lagos and Warri between July 20 and July 21, as marketers intensify efforts to strengthen product availability following the resumption of Dangote Petroleum Refinery's coastal loading operations.
The latest tanker position report monitored by Petroleumprice.ng shows Pivot, AA Rano, Matrix Energy, AYM Shafa, PPMC and 11 Plc among the marketers receiving fresh product deliveries. The arrivals come as the downstream market continues to adjust to tighter replacement costs after Brent crude surged to about $93 per barrel during the week amid escalating tensions between the United States and Iran, while industry players await the expected resumption of Dangote Refinery's gantry loading operations.

Market Outlook
The latest vessel arrivals are expected to support product availability in Lagos and Warri, particularly as marketers rebuild inventories following last week's supply disruptions. Although coastal loading has resumed at Dangote Refinery, industry participants remain focused on the anticipated reopening of gantry loading, which is expected to improve inland distribution, ease supply constraints and provide clearer direction for depot prices in the days ahead
