The Maran Lyra, a VLCC, is due in Norway right now with what dealer Braemar describes as an “uncommon” cargo.
The ship will discharge Nigerian crude at Mongstad, north of Bergen the place Equinor has a refinery. It’s the second vessel to hold Nigerian crude to Mongstad this month, following on from the Atlantic suezmax.
“Norway not often imports crude. When it does most of which comes from america. These cargoes mark the most important import of West African crude into Norway ever, and the best month-to-month crude oil import for Norway since February 2023,” Braemar defined in a tanker replace.
The mid-Might buying and selling cycle noticed Norway’s Johan Sverdrup crude worth above Brent, while Nigerian crude dropped in worth as a result of extra provides, therefore the choice to import the African oil.
