NOTE: The total may not tally as numbers in tonnes have been rounded after converting them into barrels per day using a conversion factor of 7.2 barrels per tonne, to reflect the higher density crude the company buys, divided by the number of days. Numbers for previous months have been revised. Data also includes some cargoes that arrived in February but discharged in March, and some cargoes that arrived in January and discharged in February.
