* About 20 cargoes of Nigerian crude were left in the March loading programme.

* India’s IOC has issued two buy tenders for crude loading between March 26 and April 4 and another for April 7-16. Both tenders close on Thursday with results expected on Friday.

* Less than five cargoes of Angolan crude were still available in March. Low freight rates have helped boost demand, a trader said.
