Gasoline 92 / 95 RON

Unleaded motor gasoline, 92 & 95 RON, 10–150 ppm sulphur

Motor gasoline is contracted on octane and sulphur first, followed by strict distillation and vapour pressure profiles. Research Octane Number (92 or 95 RON, up to 98 RON for premium markets) establishes the combustion grade. In West Africa and the wider Atlantic Basin, 2024–2026 marked a permanent supply revolution: the commercial scaling of the 650,000 bpd Dangote Petroleum Refinery in Lekki, Nigeria—featuring the world's largest single-train Residue Fluid Catalytic Cracking unit (RFCC, 247,000 bpd)—has structurally eliminated the four-decade-old Northwest European (ARA) 'African Quality' dirty gasoline arbitrage (which historically dumped 300,000–450,000 bpd of 150–1,000 ppm S off-spec blendstocks into West Africa). Combined with Dutch and Belgian environmental export bans, ARA blending margins have compressed by >75%, while Dangote provides guaranteed Euro-V (≤ 10 ppm sulphur, benzene ≤ 1.0% vol, aromatics ≤ 35% vol) motor gasoline meeting the strictest AFRI-6 and ECOWAS mandates.

Evacuation logistics are anchored by Dangote's offshore marine terminal located 15 km offshore in 21.0–25.5 meters of natural water depth, entirely bypassing the shallow, congested channels of Lagos Lagoon (Apapa/Tin Can). The offshore facility features 5 Catenary Anchor Leg Mooring (CALM) Single Point Mooring (SPM) buoys: three SPMs dedicated to clean product exports loading Handysize, MR, LR1, LR2 and Suezmax tankers at rates up to 77,000 bph via four 24-inch subsea pipelines. Coastal short-sea MR shuttles deliver Euro-V gasoline from Lekki to Tema and Takoradi (Ghana) in under 36 hours (versus 14 days from Rotterdam/Antwerp), drastically reducing charter demurrage and inventory financing. For inland distribution, a 500-bay automated road gantry dispatches 2,500–3,000 road tankers daily across Nigeria, Benin, Togo and Niger. CBIL brokers 92 and 95 RON gasoline cargoes from Dangote Lekki, Omani, Red Sea, Mediterranean and Indian coastal refineries on FOB, CFR and CIF terms against SGS or Intertek inspection at load and documentary letters of credit.
