Dangote Petroleum Refinery has resumed coastal loading of Premium Motor Spirit after an eight-day halt, introducing a new marine price of $1,161.23 per metric tonne, up from $1,044.62/MT previously, Petroleumpric gathered.
The new price reflects an increase of $116.61 per metric tonne, or 11.2 per cent, marking the refinery’s first pricing adjustment since it moved to a dollar-denominated template for refined products earlier this month.
Industry sources said gantry loading for trucks, which remains suspended, could also resume in the coming days, with expectations that a revised gantry price will accompany the restart.
The refinery halted both coastal and gantry loading on Wednesday, July 15, shortly after introducing the new dollar-based pricing structure. While marine deliveries have now resumed, truck loading through the gantry has yet to restart, though sources say a reopening is imminent.
Customers loading through the coastal channel were notified of the resumption on Tuesday, with actual loading operations commencing the following day, July 21, according to sources with direct knowledge of the matter.
