Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals plant has taken delivery of one million barrels of Agbami crude grade from Shell International Trading and Shipping Company Limited (STASCO).
The one million barrels consignment on board STASCO cargo reportedly sailed to Dangote Refinery’s Single Point Mooring (SPM) where it was discharged into the refinery’s crude oil tanks.
This represents the first phase of the 6 million barrels of crude oil to be supplied to Dangote Petroleum Refinery by a range of suppliers, and is expected to sustain the initial 350,000 barrels per day to be processed by the plant.
