Dangote Refinery Ships First Petrol Cargo By Sea 

It sailed with about 500,000 barrels of the petroleum product from Dangote to the nearby commercial hub of Lagos in recent days, according to a port report and ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg.

Meanwhile, the refinery’s residue fluid catalytic cracker, a crucial unit in the production of the fuel, is continuing to ramp up output, according to a person familiar with the matter. .

Once fully operational, the 650,000-barrel-a-day plant will transform the regional petrol market, potentially reducing the need for imports of the fuel from Europe to West Africa.

It has already shaken up crude oil flows by trimming an overhang of Nigerian supply, the report said.

This first shipment via sea comes about one month after the new refinery began using trucks to transport gasoline.

A refinery’s RFCC unit helps upgrade petroleum products into more valuable fuels like gasoline, according to Bloomberg.
