Dangote Refinery Posts Videos of Fuel Loadings
Nigeria’s vast Dangote refinery recently shared videos on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), showcasing the loading of fuel onto both ships and trucks.
In one video, the Golden Lavender vessel can be seen being loaded with diesel. Ship-tracking data from Bloomberg indicates that the tanker’s draft readings suggest recent cargo intake. Shipping information further suggests that the shipment is likely bound for a buyer within Nigeria.
Kpler data reveals that multiple ships have been loading various petroleum products from the Dangote refinery. Notably, the Nord Master, a recently loaded vessel, is indicating a route toward Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp, the oil trading hub of northwest Europe.
Another video from Dangote shows trucks being loaded, also with diesel. Traders are closely monitoring the refinery’s progress as it ramps up production. Once fully operational, the refinery will boast a capacity to process 650,000 barrels per day, surpassing any other plant in Europe or Africa.
