7 Vessels Carrying Petroleum Products To Arrive At Lagos Ports – NPA

The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has announced that seven ships are scheduled to arrive at Lagos ports on Friday, carrying various petroleum products.

NPA’s “Daily Shipping Position” reports that these seven vessels, out of a total of nine expected, will bring in diesel, crude oil, bulk urea, petrol, and aviation fuel.

According to the the News Agency of Nigeria, the remaining two vessels are expected to arrive with containers of assorted goods.

The NPA stated that these vessels will dock at multiple terminals, including Sifax, ENL Consortium Terminals, and Apapa Bulk Terminal (ABT) in Lagos.

“The remaining two vessels will berth with containers carrying different goods.

“The nine expected vessels will berth at Sifax, ENL Consortium Terminals, Apapa Bulk Terminal (ABT), among other terminals in Lagos,” it said.

Additionally, two more vessels are currently awaiting berths at the Apapa and Tincan Island Ports, carrying bulk urea and aviation fuel.

Meanwhile, three other ships are actively offloading general cargo, petrol, and containers at Lekki Deep Sea Port in Lagos.

Fuel Scarcity: Oil Marketers Increase Petrol Pump Price

Major oil marketers across Nigeria have raised the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly referred to as petrol, from N1,010 to N1,050 per litre, reflecting a 4% increase in Lagos and surrounding regions.

Independent marketers have also adjusted their prices, now ranging between N1,100 and N1,200 per litre, up from approximately N1,060 per litre, with prices varying by location.

An investigation by Vanguard reveals that in the deregulated market, petrol prices are not standardized, leading to minor price differences across various filling stations, although some stations maintain similar rates.
