A 90,000 metric ton cargo of gasoline from Nigeria’s Dangote refinery will be sold out of the region for the first time and bound for Asia, according to a source familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n
Since the 650,000 barrel-per-day refinery started gasoline exports last year, the cargoes have stayed in west Africa.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for Mercuria did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.<\/p>\n
“We sell our products to those who are willing to give us the highest price. It’s the buyer’s right to take the products to any destination of their choice,” a spokesperson for the Dangote refinery said.<\/p>\n
Some analysts see this new trade route as the company’s readiness to supply motor fuel globally.<\/p>\n
“This development shows the Dangote refinery’s growing global importance as a gasoline supplier, and the company’s confidence that production is now stable enough to meet Nigeria’s domestic needs,” said a director at political risk consultancy Horizon Engage Clementine Wallop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
