President Muhammadu Buhari has authorised the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to blacklist 113 vessels from lifting crude oil from 27 designated terminals in Nigeria.

In a memo sent to all terminal operators, the NNPC said the blacklisting order emanated from Buhari and urged compliance immediately.

The memo signed by Engr. G.O. Komolafe, NNPC’s Group General Manager, Crude Oil Marketing Division also prohibited the vessels from operating within Nigeria’s territorial waters.

The memo did not indicate why the vessels were banned, but there were suspicions that they must have been involved in illegal oil bunkering.
