The Federal Government has assigned two additional crude oil export terminals to Swede Control Intertek Limited, a pre‑shipment inspection agent in Nigeria.

The decision was announced in a statement signed by Aderinola Shonekan, Director of the Trade and Exchange Department at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

According to the apex bank, the newly allocated terminals are the Cawthorne and Okwok terminals.

The CBN added: “This is to notify all Authorised Dealer Banks, the Nigeria Customs Service, the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, all terminal operators, all oil and gas companies, and the general public of the Federal Government’s allocation of additional crude oil terminals to Swede Control Intertek Limited, as follows: Cawthorne Terminal and Okwok Terminal.”

The latest allocation expands Swede Control Intertek’s role in monitoring and certifying Nigeria’s crude oil exports.

The move follows the CBN’s 2025 restructuring of terminal allocations among pre‑shipment inspection agents, which aimed to improve operational efficiency, strengthen oversight, and enhance transparency in the country’s crude oil export process.

Under the 2025 restructuring, Swede Control Intertek Limited received the Ima (Otakikpo), ERHA, and Aarca terminals.

Other allocations included Nembe Terminal to Neroh Technologies Limited; Isan, Enna, and Yoho terminals to Holborn Oil and Gas International Limited; and Tunu, Antan, and Odudu terminals to Felton Energy & Investment Limited, among others.

The addition of the Cawthorne and Okwok terminals further strengthens Swede Control Intertek’s portfolio within Nigeria’s cru
