Nearly two weeks after sending its first gasoline shipment to the United States , The Dangote Petroleum Refinery, a 20-billion refinery owned by Africas richest man, Aliko Dangote, has shipped two more cargoes to the U.S., signaling its growing presence in global fuel markets.
One shipment, sold by Glencore to Shell, is aboard the vessel MH Daisen and is expected to reach New York Harbor around Sept. 19. Another, purchased by Vitol from Mocoh, is on the Seaexplorer and is scheduled to arrive around Sept. 22. The latest deliveries follow the refinerys first cargo, which arrived at New York Harbor carrying 320,000 barrels.
