Dangote Refinery has outlined its fuel production and distribution operations, warning that reliance on coastal logistics could significantly increase petrol prices if the additional costs are transferred to consumers.
In a statement on its official X account on Thursday titled “Six things to know about Dangote Refinery fuel production and distribution”, the company said its refinery operates a world-class gantry facility with 91 loading bays, capable of handling up to 2,900 tankers daily and evacuating over 50 million litres of petrol and 14 million litres of diesel through continuous 24-hour operations.
Dangote noted that gantry loading, which it described as the most cost-efficient evacuation method, helps eliminate port charges, maritime levies, and vessel-related expenses that do not benefit end users.
The firm said, “Gantry loading is identified as the most cost-efficient evacuation method, as it eliminates port charges, maritime levies and vessel-related costs that do not benefit end users.”
