Meanwhile, Dangote Refinery has commenced exporting petroleum products to neighboring African nations.
A report by Bloomberg on Tuesday, quoting data from Vortexa, Kpler, Precise Intelligence, port reports, and a ship-tracking platform, revealed that the Dangote Refinery had achieved its first export milestone.
The report indicated that the tanker CL Jane Austen loaded over 300,000 barrels of petrol from the Dangote Petroleum Refinery for export to Togo.
Furthermore, the report highlighted that the petroleum shipment reached the coast of Lomé, Togo. However, it remains uncertain where the CL Jane Austen cargo will ultimately be distributed, as the area is known for ship-to-ship transfers.
“While the shipment is tiny in the context of the global gasoline market, it signals the ramp-up of Dangote’s production and the potential to export significant volumes of gasoline beyond Nigeria, which could upend regional markets,” the report added.
