NIDAS Shipping Services, a shipping subsidiary of Nigerian National Petroleum Corp (NNPC), has won a six-month freight contract to transport clean petroleum products for BP.

According to an emailed statement, this is the first contract NIDAS has won via exercising the right of first refusal to shipping oil in a NNPC’s crude-for-product swap deal.

The contract is running from January to June, in parallel with the NNPC-BP swap deal.
