“Dangote refinery appears set to commence production of refined petroleum products with the receipt of the sixth batch of barrels of crude supplied by the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation Limited.”
The statement said the fresh one million Agbami barrels of crude through the MT ALMI SUN was the last cargo to complete the initial six million barrels to be delivered to the facility for the commencement of operations by the refinery.
In December 2023, the refinery received the first one million barrels of Agbami crude grade from Shell International Trading and Shipping Company Limited.
Since then, the refinery has received the crude in batches, with the last one arriving on Monday, January 8, 2024, at the Single Point Mooring at the Dangote Offshore Oil Terminal.
Punch reports that the Managing Director of Dangote Ports Operations, Akin Omole, said the refinery would be in an excellent position to start operation immediately after the six million barrels of crude are delivered.
