Kenya to move oil terminal, double capacity in Nairobi
Oil tanker MV Pacific Opal led by tug boats to berth at Shimanzi Oil Terminal. KPA’s proposed master plan for petroleum facilities also calls for decommissioning Shimanzi oil terminal which handles liquefied petroleum gas and offloads tankers ferrying up 30,000MT of fuel. Photo/FILE
Kenya plans to move the Kipevu oil terminal in Mombasa to a new location to facilitate importation of refined petroleum products using bigger tankers.
The project will expand the country’s petroleum storage facilities to match the growing demand for products in the region.
