The main contractor of the 900-mile the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (Eacop) from Hoima in western Uganda to Tanzania’s Tanga port, has also started civil works, with above-ground installations in both countries.

This comes as the project enters the crucial final 24 months - the construction of the pipeline, which is expected to cost $5 billion.
