(NNPC) Limited.
Confirming the delivery, a source at Dangote Refinery told
TheCable the refiner received 952,668 barrels of crude oil through Bonny Shell
terminal on Wednesday.
The vessel named MT OTIS was said to sail from Bonny Shell
terminal to Dangote Refinery’s single point mooring (SPM).
“This is NNPC cargo that loaded from Shell terminal,” the
source said.
“Three more cargoes
carrying a minimum 3 million bbl in total are being expected before 30th

Shipping Company Limited (STASCO).
“This supply will
facilitate the initial run of the refinery as well as kick-start the production
of diesel, aviation fuel, and LPG before subsequently progressing to the
production of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS),” the oil refining company had said.
Aliko Dangote, chairman of Dangote Group, had said the plant
would start production with 350,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude.
