Bonny Light Crude Supply Disruption Following Trans-Niger Pipeline Fire

In March 2025, a fire on Nigeria’s Trans-Niger Pipeline (TNP) halted crude oil flows to the Bonny Light export terminal. The TNP, a major conduit for Nigeria's premium light sweet crude, was shut down following the incident near the Kpor and Bodo communities. While authorities are investigating the cause, the disruption has raised concerns about potential supply shortages and the possibility of force majeure declarations, which could impact global oil markets .​Argus Media+3Argus Media+3Reuters+3ChemAnalyst

Strategic Insight for Buyers, Investors, and Brokers in Times of Change Global capital is moving and increasingly, it’s moving into the UAE. With traditional Western markets under pressure from interest rate uncertainty, inflation hangovers, and political volatility, investors are seeking safer, more flexible jurisdictions to deploy capital. The UAE particularly Abu Dhabi and Dubai is emerging as a leading destination for serious buyers, investors, and commodity players. Why the UAE Now? 1. Financial Efficiency & Tax Optimisation The UAE offers a zero corporate tax structure (in many zones), strong double-tax treaties, and no restrictions on capital repatriation. For high-value investors, this presents a clear financial advantage when compared to heavily regulated jurisdictions like the UK, EU, or U.S. 2. Regulatory Stability in Uncertain Times Unlike fragmented markets, the UAE provides clarity, consistency, and commercial alignment across sectors like energy, real estate, and strategic commodities. Licensing is streamlined, and compliance pathways are transparent for well structured entities. 3. Infrastructure for Global Trade With major ports, logistics hubs, and a mature financial ecosystem, the UAE is built for global dealmaking—from diesel allocations to large-scale real estate development.
