Nigeria & West Africa
Moving Refined Products Across West Africa's Most Active Import Routes
Nigeria is one of Africa's largest petroleum product importers — with millions of tonnes of diesel (AGO), gasoline (PMS), kerosene, and aviation fuel entering through Lagos Apapa, Tin Can, and Warri every year. Product tankers are the vessels that make this supply chain possible.
We charter MR, LR1, and LR2 tankers for imports, intra-regional coastal trades, and product exports from the Dangote Refinery — on spot and period terms.
