As of July 4, 2025, the latest West Africa Tanker Report confirms two incoming PMS vessels set to berth at Warri jetties. The vessels Matrix Pride and ST Walga are expected to support product distribution for Matrix Energy and A.Y.M Shafa respectively, adding momentum to regional fuel supply operations.
MATRIX PRIDE, PMS Vessel for Matrix Jetty
Petroleum-based product
- Product: Premium Motor Spirit (PMS)
- Quantity: 15,000 metric tonnes
- Port: Warri
- Depot: Matrix Energy
- Arrival: Arrived July 4, 2025
- Status: Awaiting clearance to Berth
- Remarks: The vessel Matrix Pride is yet to arrive. It will discharge directly at Matrix Jetty once cleared.
As PMS demand holds firm across the Delta region, Matrix’s scheduled delivery is expected to ease depot-level stock pressure and aid marketers in bridging distribution gaps.
ST WALGA, PMS Vessel Bound for A.Y.M Shafa Jetty
Petroleum-based product
- Product: Premium Motor Spirit (PMS)
- Quantity: 16,500 metric tonnes
- Port: Warri
- Depot: A.Y.M Shafa
- Arrival: Expected July 5, 2025
- Status: Expected
- Remarks: The vessel is currently loading from the Dangote Refinery, Lekki, and will discharge at A.Y.M Shafa Jetty upon arrival.
The ST Walga cargo, sourced directly from Dangote Refinery, reflects ongoing coordination between refinery output and independent marketers striving to maintain steady fuel flow inland.
Market Context
These tanker movements indicate continued logistics realignment in Nigeria’s downstream sector. With Dangote Refinery now playing a more central role in domestic fuel supply, independent jetties in Warri and beyond are tapping into its output to stabilise regional availability.
The fresh PMS inflows are particularly timely as marketers respond to fluctuating ex-depot prices and rising consumer demand. As supply chains remain active, analysts expect improved product turnaround at Warri depots throughout early July.
