Bunker Fuel Supply in Lagos, Built on Infrastructure You Can Rely On
Stratos Trading delivers VLSFO, LSMGO, and petroleum products to vessels across Lagos's offshore zones — backed by owned barges, dedicated storage, and full NMDPRA regulatory approval.
Lagos Is Where We Are Most Active — and Most Prepared
Lagos is Nigeria's busiest maritime corridor and one of West Africa's most active bunkering zones. It is also where Stratos Trading has built its deepest operational presence.
From the Lagos offshore zone to Eko Atlantic and the waters surrounding the Lekki Free Zone Sea Port, our team delivers marine fuel to vessels on schedule, at specification, and with the documentation that compliance demands.
Whether you are bunkering a cargo vessel, an offshore support vessel, or a tanker in transit, our Lagos operations are set up to serve you from nomination to delivery without the delays or uncertainties that define less structured suppliers.
Marine Fuel Grades Available in Lagos
As a leading bunker fuel supplier in Lagos, Stratos Trading supplies the full range of marine fuel grades required by vessels operating in Nigerian and international waters.
VLSFO — Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil
The primary compliance grade since IMO 2020. VLSFO (max 0.50% sulphur) is our highest-volume product in Lagos and is available for vessels of all sizes operating across the Lagos offshore zone. Every stem is accompanied by a MARPOL-compliant Bunker Delivery Note and quality certificate from an accredited laboratory.
LSMGO — Low Sulphur Marine Gas Oil
LSMGO (max 0.10% sulphur) is available for vessels that require distillate fuel, operate in Emission Control Areas, or carry engine configurations unsuited to residual fuels. Our Lagos supply position covers LSMGO across all major vessel categories.
Where We Operate in and Around Lagos
Stratos Trading's Lagos operations cover the following bunkering zones and locations:
- Lagos Offshore Zone — primary bunkering area for vessels at anchor or underway in Nigerian territorial waters off Lagos
- Eko Atlantic — supply services for vessels calling at the Eko Atlantic development and surrounding waters
- Lekki Free Zone Sea Port — home to our 25,000MT Bunker Terminal currently under construction, which will expand our Lagos supply capacity significantly upon completion
- Apapa and Tin Can Island Port approaches — supply coordination for vessels awaiting berth or transiting the inner harbour
Our barge fleet, including our owned bunker barges Stratos 1 (The Cruiser) and Stratos 2 (The Wind), operates across these zones with established port authority relationships that minimise clearance delays and keep your delivery on schedule.
What Makes Stratos Trading the Right Bunker Fuel Supplier in Lagos
NMDPRA Licensed
We hold a current operating licence from the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), confirming our authorisation to supply marine fuel in Nigerian waters. Our licence is available on request.
ISO Certified Operations
Our quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015. Our environmental management to ISO 14001:2015, and our occupational health and safety practices to ISO 45001:2018 — all audited by the International Accreditation Service (IAS).
IBIA Member
Stratos Trading is a member of the International Bunker Industry Association (IBIA), holding us to a global code of conduct on ethics, transparency, and professional standards.
Owned Fleet and Storage
Unlike purely trading-based suppliers, we own our delivery barges and hold over 20,000MT of dedicated petroleum storage at Taurus Terminal in Koko, Delta State. This infrastructure allows us to pre-position product, maintain fuel segregation, and guarantee availability without relying entirely on third parties.
Full Documentation as Standard
Every stem delivered in Lagos includes a MARPOL-compliant Bunker Delivery Note, quality test certificate, and oil record book support. We do not treat documentation as an afterthought.
Responsive Communication
From nomination to delivery confirmation, our team provides real-time updates on stem status, barge position, and any changes to ETA. You are never left guessing.
Bunkering in Lagos With a Supplier Built for Compliance
Port State Control inspections are a reality for every vessel that calls at Nigerian ports. The fuel you take on in Lagos, and the documentation that accompanies it, will be reviewed — whether at Lagos itself or at your next port of call anywhere in the world.
Stratos Trading's Lagos operations are built to support your compliance, not create risk. Our NMDPRA licence, ISO certifications, MARPOL-compliant BDNs, and accredited fuel quality testing mean that every stem we deliver is traceable, documented, and defensible in any inspection context.
We are not just a fuel supplier. We are part of your compliance chain.
