How Is Nigeria Importing Petrol From Malta, A Nation Without A Single Refinery? by grandstar(m): 1:00am On Sep 02 |
I have for long been bewildered that Nigeria has been importing petrol from Malta. The country isn't known for oil refining. It is no Singapore. Is Malta a transhipment hub for refined oil products? Does it have massive tank farm capacity to store huge volumes of refined oils? I want others to research and confirm my findings. Where is the origin of this imported petrol? |

grandstar:I'm not the one asking stupid questions You are the one asking nairaland Instead of asking Google. And it's because you are naive It's Google that whoever answers you will use Abi is there anyone living in Malta on nairaland that will confirm if there are refineries there 12 Likes |

It does seem like Malta is a transhipment hub for refined oil products, and they are very profitable at it. I used google. 1 Like

budaatum: Thank you very much. Thanks for this educated response. I have actually been going through Google, but saw no refineries. I suspected transhipment but found no info. 1 Like 2 Shares |

grandstar: Okay so you don't know how to use Google that's why you are asking nairaland questions you should have asked Google? Why not ask Google , what is a blending plant and cure your ignorance 9 Likes |

Difrent: You're a time waster. Someone has already given me the answer. I have added to my knowledge today from him. God bless him If this is the way you answer simple questions, you won't get far in life. Small pikin wan do big man. Simple answer was: They use a blending plant. Not all processed oil need to go through a refinery. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

grandstar:Or Dangote could be refining petrol here in Nigeria, ship to Malta and import back through proxies for optimum profit. I personally believe that this his beef with FG is stage managed |

grandstar: It is all part of Russia's sanctions-bursting scheme. ![]() Shipping tracking data seen by BusinessDay showed the loading of off-spec (bad fuel) products by matrix vessels such as vessel ‘MT Kallos’ from a ship that just arrived from Novorossiysk, Russia on 26 May 2024.Source: https://businessday.ng/energy/article/from-russia-to-malta-how-matrix-energy-import-dirty-petrol 1 Like |

Ask the Northerners running the country aground.. they are in every corner of NNPC and the Petroleum Industry yet can't get anything to work. Nigeria is the only crude oil producing nation without a single functional refinery because Dangote's family members have license to import petrol for over 220 million Nigerians. Their recent attacks on Oando and other South owned Oil companies is because they don't want competition 2 Likes |

Difrent: Look at the response below. This is most likely the reason. Russian oil is cheap. Sanctions bar them from selling crude oil above $60/barrel. This is compared the international price of $75/barrel. Buying refined Russian oil is therefore a no-brainer I like to educate. I'm sorry for insulting you but your rude words hurt me. It served no other purpose but to hurt. Always try and be polite. At the end of the day, your answer wasn't even the correct one. The upswing in the sale of refined oil from Malta has been so great for it to be down to blending. 2 Likes |

grandstar: I don't owe you any explanation. Don't you think you sound somehow asking such a question when Google could do the same for you .... Seems like laziness to me. You should have done your own research and ask people to discuss, not ask stupid question. The person the replied you used Google which you too could have used , that's the point I'm trying to make 4 Likes |

Difrent: The blending plant answer was actually incorrect. Yes, the guy used Google and so did I? Does not make me stupid or a bad person? No. He must have used better parameters when searching which I did not use. That does not make me a failure. You didn't even provide me the correct answer. Where you erred was the condescending way you responded. The person that gave me the correct answer had a clue on what I was really searching for. What's most important is to be always polite. The rudeness had no place. 1 Like |

grandstar: It wasn't my intention to be polite I meant all the rudeness You finally admitted you use Google, the person the replied you used Google , so why were you upset initially when I pointed it out to you that you should have used Google instead of coming on nairaland to ask questions you could have asked Google ? Seems you are one of those who just like arguing for arguing sake, so sad I had to waste my time on such a person 2 Likes |

You're answering off point and feeling cocky about it. The person who gave the correct answer did so politely, with no drama at all.
