As of today, 19th June 2025, the latest Daily Tanker Report highlights new vessel activity at Emadeb, Dangote Refinery, and AYM Shafa terminals. The tankers are carrying vital petroleum cargoes including Automotive Gas Oil (AGO), Aviation Turbine Kerosene (ATK), and crude oil spread across the ports of Lagos and Warri.
This growing activity underscores the rising pace of cargo delivery as the Nigerian downstream sector adjusts to local refining expansion and increased inland fuel demand.
WESTMORE – Discharging Dual Cargo at Emadeb, Lagos
- Product: AGO, ATK
- Quantity: AGO (15,000 MT), ATK (5,000 MT)
- Arrival: Arrived on the 14th of June
- Status: At Berth
- Remarks: Discharging in progress
Analysis:
WESTMORE is currently berthed at Emadeb terminal in Lagos, discharging a dual shipment of diesel and aviation fuel. The supply will bolster Emadeb’s capacity to meet growing citywide energy needs, especially for trucking firms and local airlines. With diesel demand climbing, this discharge offers a timely buffer against rising depot prices.
SONANGOL PORTOAMBIO – Crude Supply Inbound for Dangote Refinery
- Product: Crude Oil
- Quantity: 143,162 MT
- Arrival: Expected to Arrive on the 19th of June
- Status: Expected
- Remarks: En route, yet to arrive
Analysis:
SONANGOL PORTOAMBIO is expected to deliver over 143,000 metric tonnes of crude oil to Dangote Refinery. The shipment aligns with Dangote’s crude intake strategy as the refinery gears up to supply refined fuel locally and internationally. This delivery reinforces the refinery’s throughput plans ahead of its full-scale distribution roll-out scheduled for August.
WESTON – Diesel Cargo En Route to AYM Shafa, Warri
- Product: AGO
- Quantity: 18,000 MT
- Arrival: Expected to Arrive on the 19th of June
- Status: Expected
- Remarks: En route, Expected to berth
Analysis:
The vessel WESTON is headed to Warri Port, delivering diesel to AYM Shafa. With supply routes into inland markets such as Benin and Asaba reliant on Warri depots, this delivery is crucial for sustaining diesel availability outside Lagos. It will help ease pressure in the south-south and middle-belt regions.
Market Context
Today’s update highlights the growing geographical spread of cargo arrivals from Lagos to Warri as operators diversify port activity to ease logistics. Dangote Refinery continues to draw crude inflows, while independent depots such as Emadeb and AYM Shafa strengthen supply access for marketers serving both coastal and inland demand.
As June progresses, downstream players must actively monitor vessel arrivals and optimise truck-out volumes to prevent inland shortages and volatile pricing.
