after a spike in the last month.
* Around a dozen July loading Angolan cargoes remained.
* Exxon Mobil was said to have sold a cargo of Dalia but
further details did not immediately emerge.

West African crude. One is for 2 million barrels cargoes loading
July 4-13 and the other for 1 million loading Aug. 1-10 and both
