NG PEN denotes not a conventional harbour but Pennington, an offshore crude-oil export terminal off Nigeria's Bayelsa coast. It sits about 32 km offshore, near the mouth of the Fishtown River, and is operated by Chevron. Three production platforms link via submarine pipelines to two single-point-mooring (SPM) buoys and a floating storage vessel, with capacity around 2.2 million barrels. The facility loads crude only, through SPM and FPSO systems — there are no container, RoRo or breakbulk operations here. It has no road or rail hinterland; flows move entirely by pipeline and tanker. Shippers needing container, general-cargo or standard customs services should route through Onne, Port Harcourt or Lagos (Apapa and Tin Can).
